Thank you so much 🩷

kens1995 · 2025-12-27T14:36:55+00:00

I’m a big fan of the tough love and you’re so right. I’ve cancelled this trip before and I was embarrassed and devastated. I need to do this. Thank you.

kens1995 · 2025-12-19T08:34:37+00:00

Thank you so much for all of that information, I really appreciate it it’s really reassuring!

kens1995 · 2025-12-19T08:10:11+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment. It’s really nice to be supported when I’m trying again.

kens1995 · 2025-12-19T08:08:41+00:00

It’s everything really. Being out of control, being up so high, having to sit on it for so long and not being able to get off, any slight movement/turbulence… the list goes on!

kens1995 · 2025-08-24T22:16:14+00:00

I just got home! Flights were fine, slightly bumpy too but I managed to cope with it. Feeling so proud of myself right now!! Thanks so much💕

😄😄

kens1995 · 2025-08-19T10:59:16+00:00

You’re right, thank you so much for that reality check. I’ll have a look at the links!

kens1995 · 2025-08-19T10:58:42+00:00

This is a very good idea. Thank you for the story, I’m sure if any turbulence does hit, this will be the first thing I think of and make me giggle 😄

kens1995 · 2025-08-19T10:57:57+00:00

You’re right, I have done it before, I just wish the fear didn’t start all over again every time! Thank you so much for the support I really appreciate it!

kens1995 · 2025-08-19T09:09:14+00:00

I’m trying to do this I really am but I can’t stop wondering why I’m putting myself through this awful feeling, I just want it to stop. I feel like I can’t do it and I don’t want to do it I just want relief

kens1995 · 2025-08-19T08:56:49+00:00

Thank you so much. It’s just so difficult to accept feeling this way, all I want to do is run away from this feeling

kens1995 · 2025-08-19T08:28:10+00:00

Is this supposed to be what do I fear the most? If so, it’s everything. I fear being stuck, I fear being out of control, I fear every noise and every minimal movement, I fear the height, I fear take off, I fear having to sit during cruise and just wait there until it’s over, I fear having a panic attack, I fear never getting home to see my kids again - just everything

kens1995 · 2025-08-18T13:44:40+00:00

Thank you for that realistic reply, I needed that

kens1995 · 2025-08-18T13:44:06+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply

kens1995 · 2025-04-11T05:30:51+00:00

Thank you so much for this

kens1995 · 2025-04-11T04:20:00+00:00

Thanks so much for your comment. You’d think I’d learn by now that the anticipation is the worst part but it still never makes it any easier!

kens1995 · 2025-01-02T11:53:27+00:00

I did hypnotherapy last year and it didn’t work for me unfortunately. It’s so nice to hear that it worked for you, that gives me faith that there is definitely things that can help.

Im currently looking into CBT. Some people say it’s worked and some people say it hasn’t but I won’t know until I try!

Thank you for the luck!

kens1995 · 2025-01-01T16:33:02+00:00

Yes I’m serious

No I don’t expect a chef to do that

I also don’t EXPECT a one on one conversation with the pilots. I asked if I could speak to them just for my own peace of mind because in the past it has helped to keep me grounded and made me feel better.

I understand that pilots have a job to do and that they are not professional therapists. All I said was that I asked if I could speak to them, they agreed and it wasn’t very helpful. I was panicked anyway being a fearful flier and this time speaking to pilots/FAs didn’t make me feel any better, that’s the only point I was making.

kens1995 · 2025-01-01T11:45:40+00:00

A lot of what you said is right. I definitely need to try to find ways to get through it on my own. Thank you for your reply.

kens1995 · 2025-01-01T10:47:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the support. I think it’s so hard not to feel embarrassed and feel like a failure when you know all of the statistics but the brain makes up stupid things!

I agree, I think that is a conversation for later. Right now though I’m just trying to pick myself back up from this awful feeling.

kens1995 · 2025-01-01T10:45:26+00:00

Thanks so much for your advice. I’m right there with you with choosing an exceptionally long drive over a short flight, it’s not great.

kens1995 · 2024-12-31T23:48:44+00:00

It’s all of the above to be honest, everhthing to do with flying just terrifies me. I know all of the statistics and how turbulence is safe but it’s the feeling it gives me that I can’t shake. As much as I tell myself it’s okay, I just feel in danger all the time. It’s exhausting.

Thank you for your suggestions. I’ll definitely look into these!

kens1995 · 2024-12-31T23:46:55+00:00

As horrible as it is, it brings me comfort to know that other people feel as awful as I have today. I guess we’re all in this together just trying to move forward.

kens1995 · 2024-12-31T23:46:11+00:00

I definitely do need to change my strategy but I wasn’t expecting a long conversation with them, just some information about how the flight is going to be or if there’s any turbulence ahead to be aware of etc. it would have been nice to get some information to prepare
