I suffer with anxiety on a daily basis and am medicated I also have other MH diagnosis that also impact on me.
for reference I can’t leave the house alone not even past the driveway l leave with my DH ,a support worker who I have a few times a week I even have to be collected to attend my weekly EMDR with my psychologist.
i do get out and about with my safe people I’m not housebound I just can’t on my own. This is something I’m working on.
Im currently on holiday with DH abroad we have traveled a lot over the years as weird as it sounds my anxiety is a lot less when I’m away from my local area. (Fear of bumping into a perpetrator of my long standing CSA I took this person to court a few years ago).
I really struggle the day of travel though talking nausea , vomiting , upset stomach , palpitations etc quite extremely even with some good strength medication.
coming over last week I suffered the worst I have ever had we had fast track the lounge etc still was horrific almost fainted while queuing for the loo on the plane the Flight attendant had to let me sit in the crew seats etc .
we are due to fly back tonight early hours and the nausea and upset stomach have started already i will utilise my meds as I always do but it doesn’t help that due to the sickness I don’t think they work fully .
can anyone offer any tips? I know I have to just get through it but it’s 12 hours till we get picked up and I feel like I’m going to die I know that sounds silly.
im not actually scared of flying that’s the stupid thing I like take off and landing on etc its not a fear of flying I don’t know what it is.
thanks if you have read this far. We have a long haul with the kids in October half term and I don’t want to feel like this again I’m even thinking of letting everyone go without me
what a failure
