Forums Serious Talk I feel like I can’t enjoy my trip because I’m dreading the flight

Donator — She/her Posted 4 years ago ( 2019/10/16 07:19:42 )


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.

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!

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.

@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

Sorry this has you so stressed out. I hope the medication helps you. If you find yourself overwhelmed with anxiety remember to breathe. I think once you're settled you'll be ok. I hope you have a safe trip!
