Panic Flying

JT

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?

  • Just over two weeks ago, flying out for a holiday in Menorca, I had a 'funny turn' in the airport. It was very like a diabetic hypoglycaemic episode, but was probably linked to the lurking bronchitis I was developing, unknown at the time to me. So I was avoiding queues for my family using my sunflower lanyard and eventually being checked out by the airport paramedic team, who checked pulse, BP and blood glucose. I was given the green light to board and was whisked at high speed in a wheelchair direct to the aircraft door. Almost worth the feeling ill, to get such an unusual, for me, and fast boarding experience.
