I've just arrived home from a short holiday to Portugal. I've not been on holiday for nearly 10 years so I have been in a near panic attack state for about a month.
Proud I did it, but my god was it hard to make myself live through the flights each way. I find being in confined spaces, with loads of strangers, limited toilet access, and random goings on, really anxiety inducing.
Id love to open up more and be able to travel, for my family as much as myself.
Anyone else feel the same about flying? How do you manage it?
Impressive to have managed a Portugal trip. Respect!
I think I have got worse over the years. The lowest point is when I spent most of a trans-Atlantic flight hiding in the toilets.
I manage things okay, but much prefer travelling by train.
