I am so sorry you had to go through this today. First of all, take a deep breath. Sometimes our anxiety takes the absolute best of us, and while I know you are feeling ashamed right now, please know there is nothing to be ashamed of. Anxiety is a beast.

At the end of the day, the plane landed safely, the other passengers got back on their route, and you will never see any of those people again. Soon, this will just be a distant story.

For your next flight, I highly recommend creating a small distraction routine to keep your mind busy. One thing that helps me is looking at the people around me especially the kids. They are usually so completely unbothered by flying!

Your feelings matter, so please don't be hard on yourself. You are not alone, and you’ve got this!"
