In two days I’m flying to England from California. It’s an 11-hour flight. I have been on a flight that long before, I’m not new to flying and I’m not actually anxious on the plane. It’s before how I feel before and after the flight. I have flown from Florida to England before many times. Anyway, my husband and I can’t buy Economy+ seats because they are sold out and we might not even be able to sit together in economy! I don’t know how I’m going to be able to sit with my husband. I won’t be able to sleep either and the flight is overnight. It’s giving me a ton of anxiety. I don’t like what my body feels like after being awake over night (it’s a red-eye) I will probably be awake for over 24 hours straight. The thought of sitting next to a stranger for that long is making me want to cry.
Forums Serious Talk I feel like I can’t enjoy my trip because I’m dreading the flight

My normal Dr’s office wasn’t able to see me this week so I wasn’t able to get an anti-anexity pill. I have never taken it for a flight but it need it more for the night before. I’m unable to sleep because I worry too much about having everything packed, not sleeping through my alarm and making sure I don’t miss the flight. So I don’t sleep well the night before. Then the next night I will be flying so I won’t be able to sleep cramped like that. When I don’t sleep my heart rate can get fast and I can feel like crap. It’s awful and I hate it.
Update: Thank God for technology as I was able to FaceTime my dr and get some pills for the flight. Praise be! I’m literally about to cry over the relief.
Hey! hope the anxiety gets better. And I hope you have a good flight. Never been on that long either. My longest flight was 2 hours.
@inatlaka: thank you. I hope that by tomorrow I will feel a lot better about this. I’m going to try and find a different dr that will give me a pill to calm me down.
I hope it goes smoothly. I have to take a pill before I fly too, not for the flight but for the stress beforehand :/ just remember to dress warm!
currently: new novel who dis?

beanie doll! thank u cookie
@sunny: that is the exact same reason why I need it. Before I’m just overthinking it to the max.
@inatlaka: thanks. The flight is tomorrow night
I've never been on such a long flight, but I understand how it can feel sitting next to a stranger(frankly, I hate it). Hopefully you can get something before you have to go.
Update- I was able to FaceTime my Dr and get some pills for the flight. I’m going to be picking them up today.
Oh! I thought you were already on it XD
will you post right before getting on the plane?

@Kira: I have my phone and iPad. Which has games, movies, music, downloaded magazines.
@LordLucre: yeah. I was thinking about it a lot today because under 7 hours I’m fine but then why do the long hauls bother me? It’s because I’m stuck in something so uncomfortable and boring for 11 hours it’s borderline inhumane
@Totalanimefan: @_@ Yup.
@Totalanimefan: That's good!
