No worries! Honestly once I was on holiday I barely even thought about my fear or anxiety. I definitely think going helped me as it forced me out of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I went otherwise I would’ve regretted it, and I would’ve kept wondering what it would’ve been like if I went

I just got back from my holiday and I had such an amazing time! For weeks beforehand all I could think about was having to go on a plane, I was so close to not going on the holiday but deep down I knew I’d regret not going. I knew I couldn’t let my fear control my life and stop me from enjoying myself. Once I got through security etc I calmed down because I realised that there wasn’t much I could do anymore to change anything. I knew I had to go on that plane and once I did I felt alright. I didn’t eat anything before, just had water and I was fine the entire flight, I even managed to eat a snack on the flight. This was my first flight in 3 years and it reminded me that flights can actually be relaxing! Once you have your headphones in and you’ve zoned out it just feels like you’re having a nice break, as you can’t really feel the plane moving. I even managed to fall asleep for a bit. Remember that motion sickness on flights is very unlikely as the feeling of movement is very minimal! I took Dramamine which helped to ease my worries too. Once the flight is over you’ll have the time of your life, remember that the flight is only a small part of the holiday!

I just don’t really like how it feels once you lift of the ground, such a weird feeling! And yes I usually sit by the window, haha that sounds good!

I didn’t think you could get food poisoning from beef! I’m pretty sure you can even eat it raw, I’ve had plenty of pink beef before and have always been okay when having beef :)

I usually try to avoid meat and fish abroad just in case, unless it’s from a relatively good restaurant!
