I recently took a round trip flight from Pittsburgh to Florida and back. I had been dreading it for months. I was sure I was going to panic, start crying and stop breathing. That's all I had thought about whenever I thought about this trip. I'd flown before, to Hawaii which was a 12 hour flight without trouble. And I had flown by myself to L.A. BUT...something about this flight bugged me into thinking I was going to be in trouble. I was traveling with my husband and 85 yr old mother. You know how we obsess and make ourselves sick with worry. I'm back and here to brag that I didn't have one panic attack! I'm so proud of myself lol I started to get a little panicked when I found out we couldn't sit together. And I was in the middle seat with 2 strangers. I have claustrophobia so it was excruciating to me. But I did OK. I actually surprised myself by doing this without a panic attack. I'm sure most people wouldn't understand but I know most people here do understand. I have a trip coming up to fly to Idaho to visit my daughter and grandson in June. I've been dreading that too since it involves changing planes. But now I'm confident that I can do it! It's given me confidence that I can fly to Idaho and be OK. Sorry to be patting myself on the back here, blowing my own horn.....but I feel so good that I have to share in case there is someone else with the same worry. If I can do it, you can to.
