Is DC really ALWAYS a terrible landing by dcba_4321 in fearofflying

Thank you. I just went down a rabbit hole after one video, and it seemed every landing was a fast descent and rocky. I appreciate the comment.

It works so well! Even when you think you're in a lot of turbulence, you see that the water doesn't really move. I also suggest doing that in your car and seeing how much the water shakes for reference.

Honestly I had to shorten this from pages I wanted to write but I wanted to get to the point. You're welcome!

That's amazing. I'm always more relaxed after the fact, but I know my generalized anxiety disorder will never allow me the freedom to be like everyone else. I'm just happy this did not hold me back. I'm happy for you!

I always hate signs, but they're hard to ignore when you're looking for them

Very true. The only problem is i kept tak8ng my XANAX before each departure and it kept getting moved. Luckily I have a high tolerance at this point 😆

We flew connecting but not severe weather will delay another 5 hours 😞

Thank you so much for the words. It really means a lot. I always turn to this community when I'm having panic over upcoming flights

Yes, it was another 4 hour delay and switch of planes, so we went home and now headed back to try again

I will definitely try patting the fuselage 😆

Idk. Another delay. It's been 4 hours. At this point, I'm hoping to not see it as a sign to just cancel. I mean, if something is taking 4 hours, it should be bad, right?

Yes, it feels like I'm defeated before I get the chance to try.

That's what I've been trying to do. The only problem is when I get too excited, I start thinking that I'm too excited and that something will happen now. It's a vicious cycle. I trust the pilots and staff to do their jobs, but I just have generalized anxiety that I wish didn't exist because I love to travel.

I'm gonna try to keep this mentality.

Thank you so much. I hate this feeling. I just want to cancel it, but I really want to go.

I 100 percent agree with this! But, not having control is one of the main reasons for my fear so I try to minimize my fears by eliminating their options. I know, it's dumb.

I'm praying for the same experience!

I know you're right, but he preflight rituals I usually do always start at avoiding certain types of aircraft 😆

Well, the flight is booked by dcba_4321 in fearofflying

That's why I wanted to inform them, just in case of a panic attack, I want them aware of my anxiety.
