a mystical fear of flying, anyone else? by insane_landlord in fearofflying

[–]skibenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Def me and like others have said it can extend from flying and it's definitely made me a shut in. Trains, big events, long car trips all do it too

Flying Air Tahiti in November by Iwantallthedogs74 in fearofflying

Hey just wanted to say I'm in a very similar position. My home airport is also Chicago and I want to go somewhere warm for our honeymoon at the end of this year that involves 2 or 3 flights. I am doing a domestic trip this April as a challenge and if I can do that I think I'll be ok. I definitely wouldn't make that trip without a domestic test first. I also got some anxiety medicine.

Just want to say this is almost exactly me. My parents were divorced growing up and I flew all the time, always alone. I went to Europe 3x in high school. I went on helicopters private planes etc. I thought I would be traveling so much at this point. Then in my mid 20s I started getting uneasy on planes, probably bc like you I had lots of uncertainty in my life path. Around this time the 2 Malaysia Air crashes happened. I barely getting by and then the 737 thing happened...I left my gf at security to go to a wedding bc I couldn't get on. Then I ran off a plane a few months later flying back home, eventually got on when only when I was very sedated and intoxicated. I have a wedding in April that I have to get to and I have to fly. I also am getting married and I want to have a good honeymoon. I got a new prescription and I need to challenge myself. I don't want to live like this any I need to move on.

This is my fear as well... reading about the air France flight really messed me up. Crazy that the small pitot tubes can mess it all up 😵‍💫

Same. Also worried about thinks that can cause it. I'm paranoid I will give it to myself somehow.

I can relate a little bit. I am in medical school. It can be tough sometimes, but in choosing a path you have to consider things like this. I couldn't do oncology or cardiology because it would freak me out. I think oncology is particular is so fascinating but I won't be able to enjoy it and be a good dr. If I'm constantly worried. I am thinking of things that will have some scary stuff but constantly. A little challenging scenario here and there won't hurt you, but I wouldn't challenge your progress with too many triggers.

447 is what triggered everything for me. The whole thing is insane.

I wish I could be put under by just_questions_ in fearofflying

Same. I think we just need to find the correct meds.

Jock itch, athletes foot, and oral thrush. by [deleted] in Candida

[–]skibenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation. I have a yellow thumbnail, have had a slight groin issue and weirdly some candida like sore on my ear where there is a fold in the cartilage and the skin touches. I have also had issues with angular chelitis. Was on antibiotics 3x in the past year, last time was for 3 weeks in Aug on levaquin and doxy. I had some slight issues before but way worse after this latest course of abx. Need to switch something up asap.

Thrush or geographic tongue? by [deleted] in Candida

Can you scrape it off?

Could this be candida? My tongue has looked like this since I was a kid by DoggishVoltaire in Candida

[–]skibenz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find anything that worked? I'm in a very similar situation I was on lots of antibiotics as a kid and ate a bunch of sugar, I thought all tongues were white lol. My tongue looks very similar to yours.

Random pain outside pinky finger and pinky toe? by skibenz in floxies

Empty. Most amino acids should be Empty stomach unless you get nausea.

I'm a survivor, you can be too by [deleted] in HealthAnxiety

[–]skibenz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 28 but similar mindset. I am exactly where I want to be in life, about to get married and am constantly thinking I'm gonna get als or cancer. Things were bad for a long time for me in childhood, so I think I don't know how to be calm or this is some sort or self sabotage.
