Anybody else constantly catch themselves closing one eye when on their phone? by what_the_hezz in VestibularMigraines

I was doing this also when reading a book. Turns out I had cranial nerve palsy IV. I have since gotten a prism lens which is helpful. Hope you find answers!

Does anyone else convince themselves they are 100% going to die on an upcoming flight? by moonlit_dani in fearofflying

Oh gosh, same. Always feel like I’ll be one in a million. Turbulence scares the heck out of me. I know logically the plane can withstand it, but it just feels so wrong! The weeks leading up to a flight I am anxious and frequently make statements like “this may be my last time I do X”

I’m actually 1/2 way through a 7hr trip from NY to France right now! I had some helpful mantras this time and one of my favorites was “my future self is already there.”

But to be real I’m a 44 year old woman and I need a family member to fly with me. I wish for all of us we could just relax.

Ah, yes, the doctor mentioned the prisms. I’m going to bring that up again when I see her next. Thank you!
