so many things going through my mind right now.
i am so frightened to fly as i am going to sicily in two days time.
i hate take off and i hate landing. turbulence is worst feeling ever.
coupled with that my anxiety is at an all time high.
i get frequent deja vu and weird vision and adrenaline rushes through my body which i keep thinking i am gonna have seizures this has been going on for years.
i am now worried that my ears are terrible on a plane and scared i may go dizzy when taking off and landing
Hi,
I like you am an awful flyer i have to take medication just to get on the plane!
You should be proud of yourself firstly for taking the step and going away despite your anxiety and fear or flying.
I have to say the Air stewardess have always really looked after me when i tell them i fear flying.
I could tell you all the safety facts i have learnt over the years about flying but i 100% know it does not help when you are sat on that plane!
Have you considered seeing your doctor for prescribed meds to help you stay calm?
ive not had any meds been prescribed as not keen on taking but i take this thing called rescue remedy its natural but it takes the edge off.
the whole journey i feel gripped to my chair. i hate turbulence
Rescue Remedy is brilliant i have used it, I do not usually like to take meds but for flying i will take anything from my doctor. For me personally it just helps me to relax during take off and landing, i am still fully aware of whats going on i am just relaxed.
with regards to the turbulence if there is one thing that i always try to remember is the most dangerous thing about turbulence is a passenger spilling hot coffee over themselves, this was told to me first hand by a pilot and it very true, turbulence is like a bump in the road and if you went over a bump in your car and had coffee in your hand it would spill, the same as when you feel turbulence and no pilot or cabin crew want a passenger with hot coffee in their laps. plus when you hit a bump in the road in your car nothing bad happens to the car or the people inside the same is with turbulence.
take off and landing do feel strange and make you dizzy but as you know it doesnt last. just pop your eyes as you climb and when you land a few times. im an awful flyer to and i hate take off and landing.
yeah i hate flying just another addition to all my anxiety/seizure issues.
i hope i can fly with seizures
im sure you will be fine bud.
enjoy your holiday and have a good time my friend.
just dont buy the paninis on the plane they cost a small fortune😂
