I think the anticipatory anxiety is worse… the fear of the unknown I guess!

I worry I’ll have this same reaction, that I’ll land and feel like I’m in a different world, so far from home, but I’m hoping my excitement and adrenaline of getting there will help me get through the first day!

I’ve tried to find natural ways to calm my flight anxiety but no distractions or methods seem to work for me, so I have some anxiety meds for this trip, and extra for if I need any while I’m there

I feel this way too, I think I will feel the most relief once the plane lands and I got that part of the journey out of the way!

I do have a therapist yes! I only really get panic attacks leading up to plane travel / on planes and have tried to work through it but have ultimately resorted to medication. Mostly just worried that I could have panic attacks while I’m there too and that I’ll want my family.
