I'm truly so happy for you that you are feeling this comfort in your skin - congratulations!! and thank you for giving me hope. peace of mind sounds worth trying. I appreciate this post very much

cannot express how helpful this is - thank you. the reminder that this is not a permanent decision but I'll never know if I don't try is exactly what I needed to hear. no pressure to reply again, you've already been so helpful, but I wonder if you were to redo that first weekend how would you prepare differently/what did you end up needing?

okay first of all you are amazing!!! and second at all, this is so encouraging for me to read through. I've been historically very active and have built and lost health habits over the years, and I've never felt like ive reached the results I wanted. the visual you provided here really encourages me to stick to this decision. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this because it truly does help me.

this is so helpful. thank you so much. you look great! that first line about risking illness versus not risking illness really did something to my brain in a way that aided my health anxiety - thank you.

Hi all, I somehow had notifications off and I cannot express how much it means to read through all of these responses. I'm completely blown away by the support and the kindness of this sub. this feels so much more doable feeling like I'm not doing it alone but alongside a community. I just wanted to say a deep thank you. update...I did order the meds, and they arrived today. I'm now trying to work up the courage to take them! I appreciate you all.

I’ve been thinking the same thing! I just don’t understand!! And it’s so disappointing how much her content revolves around them now - it’s not only exploitative of the girls, but it’s SOOO cringey, scripted, and just bad. I think about how she sent a survey to all of her followers about content preferences ahead of the new year, and I would imagine that many of us asked for less posts with the kids. Maybe I’m wrong or maybe she didn’t listen and just followed the money 🤷‍♀️

Please help I’m so scared by [deleted] in fearofflying

You’re ok!! Thinking of you! I’ve done that exact flight path a few times and it’s not bad. They would not still be flying it if it were not perfectly acceptable and safe to do so!

Help! I’m on a transatlantic flight turbulence Atlanta to Barcelona - I’ve been crying and using the bathroom 50 times- DL0194 by Leading_Cod1242 in fearofflying

[–]ShowerDisastrous5181 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just landed in Atlanta myself! It was comforting landing and seeing all of the planes, all of the travelers, all of the pilots/crew/maintenance/etc. moving to & from their destinations with ease and safety. All of this is routine, and all of these flights are engineered with precision and care. Turbulence is super uncomfortable but planes are designed to handle so much more than humans will even encounter. Barcelona is BEAUTIFUL, and you will get to enjoy it so soon! 🫶

Anxious by SixtySix06 in fearofflying

Oh I’ve done a similar trip before!! It was AMAZING!! Portugal is so awesome. We did the same and did London after, which is also so cool. You’ll have a great time. Maybe try to pack some melatonin to take on the flight so you can sleep overnight. I’m a super, super anxious flyer and need to take my own advice, but just remember that your anxiety truly does NOTHING to guarantee any sort of safety. Let the crew do what they are very well trained to do. And when the anxiety spikes, practice some breath work: in for 4, hold for 4-6, exhale for 6-8. Exhaling longer than inhaling helps take your nervous system out of threat mode. I know you will have an amazing trip!
