I am going on an airplane first time since decades

Basically psychosis has made me scared of many things in the sense of highlighting worst case scenarios.

In around 2 weeks time i am going on a plane

By myself…

feel calm enough atm but i know i might freak out wen it is moving

Just like the ferris wheel

Thought i cud cope it but was thinking of death whole time. With my head down and covered.

How do you deal with airplanes on flights on your own especially

Where are you going?

Personnally I’m usually not scared

You could try putting essential oil on your wrist and smell that when you’re scared, find 5 things you see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you taste, try breathing exercices (you could download an exercice on your phone), hold a anti stress ball

I hope you’ll have a nice trip

Please try not to stress. Traveling by plane is a lot safer than train. I’ve been catching flights since I was about 12 years old and never had any problems. It’s very safe. Take care.

In all seriousness it would be really cool to meet you in person. I don’t know if I would be good/or healthy for ya though on the whole food thing as I also love to eat.

Nahhh you can eat what u want cos if it makes you feel better thats wat matters all our bodies are unique afterall it would not trigger me.

My body is just a bit weird as f u ck. :sweat_smile:

Awww. I’m trying to learn to love my body too.

I have my Mamacita’s short chicken legs, and a huge belly, and my father’s broad shoulders and chest and a big neck and arms. I probably look like a modern caveman LOL!

I bet you look absolutely fine!

No sorry i wasnt clear about the post above:

I meant like all our bodys mechanisms are slighlty unique imo, meaning dat it is natural that we all have somewhat different needs and such

Yeah I’m not too sure. I have heard of people meeting on the forum before and it going well. I think in the case of romances though it would probably be a bad idea.

I’m going on a plane by myself in two weeks too; it will be the first time since 1995. I’ve been worried so much about getting to the airport. and what to do when I get there that it hasn’t occurred to me to be scared about actually flying on the plane. Now I’m a little worried, I’m sure I’ll be alright though.

Maybe ask your Dr for a one time dose of a sedative to take 30 minutes before takeoff. It might help you calm down a bit. Then try squared breathing and guided imagery during the flight

I went to Europe in 2014. I love flying but was terrified before going and had nightmares. I’m sure you’ll be fine.
