I’d say something milder/less addictive than Xanax. There really is no point in having to suffer through the whole thing and if it’s only flying then therapy might not be effective enough and there is no real way to test it other than flying.I wondered if anybody had anything that actually worked for them?
I thought the more I flew the more relaxed I would be, but it actually is going the opposite way!
I’m scared of heights, hate the thought I’m so out of control, any noise or bumps starts me getting stressed, turbulence just makes me want to cry.
I love going abroad but even now for a September/October holiday I’m getting worked up thinking about it!
also family/friends live long haul abroad so it’s unavoidable too!
Helppppppppp!
This might end up being the unpopular opinion here but maybe some flights with your partner only so you can trial some methods to reduce your anxiety? Having extra responsibilities will only put more pressure on you and having to hold it togetherThanks so much for all of the advise!
I do always try and keep headphones on, but the last few years has meant having my son with me too, I’m sure I feel more pressure as I don’t want him to see that I’m scared either.
I try and pass all care of him onto my partner, who doesn't bat an eyelid on a plane but my son is such a mummy’s boy he always wants me
I think I’m going to have a look into some of the options here, as long as my partner is flying with me then I’m thinking taking something is definitely an option! Xx
