Try to let the thoughts pass. Your gunna be where your trying to go later thinking why you wasted this time worrying when it went so well. Just try to relax. Put some music. Stuff I can sing with helps me out. And try not to give it attention.

I have never been on a plane. I have yet to get that worry. But. I am scared of heights not that it's the same but. What helps me in any worry is being relaxed. Maybe some music or somthing nostalgic like a movie or show... I like watching the sandlot. But I just try to enjoy the experience as much as I can I try to let the thoughts come and go. It can be hard but you will feel so much better when you land knowing you had nothing to worry about... Have you flown before?

I mean you seem rational just try to think of other things and let it pass. Talk to somebody if your flying with someone. Anything to get you to be calm before and movies and games are a good distraction mid flight so keep yourself busy I get the stressed part. This part of the year always hits for me I'm always stressed out and extremely depressed this time of year. So I get it. But ima try to make the most of my fall experience lol

I’ve been on planes. And I tend to enjoy the experience and as I’ve started to fly more for work I’ve realized I like to do things that help eliminate my stress: I like aisle seats. I don’t mind getting up for others but if I don’t have it it makes me anxious so I try to get them. I also aim for the back. Which may not be preferable to many it usually lessons my concerns about being able to use the over head bins. I also like the movies on planes but know ppl who use the download option on Spotify and just have their favorite music. Hope that helps.

I think I’m anxious because I’ve been stressed out lately so I’m scared something will happen to me when I’m on the plane

Thank You ... I’m anxious right now as we speak but I’m not as bad as yesterday so we will see. I woke up kind of separated from myself if that makes sense and that freaked me out a lot

Good!! I’m taking meds but I think these meds aren’t the greatest for me. They are like adderall but since I’m going to start my period ( don’t mean to sound gross ) my OCD is way way way worse

Plane Anxiety
Currently having a mental breakdown as I have to get on a plane by myself for the first time. It just feels like since I’ll be alone everything will go wrong and I don’t want that. All of the flights I’ve been on have been mostly smooth. It’s a short flight but I just can’t get the imagine of me dying alone out of my head. I’ll go a couple hours being fine about it to freaking out. Also, a side from safety I just hate being up in the air with no where to go. I genuinely can’t comprehend it and now I have to do it by myself.

i’m so anxious right now.
i had thoughts of “planning” to harm my boyfriend. we have a trip coming up and my intrusive thoughts were telling me “nobody will know if you harm him all the way over there”, then my mind started rambling on like “everyone will know-“ and so on and so forth, it actually made me feel like i was contemplating on doing something and now it feels like im turning evil ): has anyone had thoughts like this?

Some advice please
I’m experiencing anticipatory anxiety related to OCD. I have an important trip in 7 weeks and travel triggers my ocd. My feelings are just a dull ache in my belly constantly, and a jittery feeling. I’m confused about the actual obsessions. I used to have harm OCD that sprung from a travel incident years ago and ever since then, travel has been very fear inducing. I get the physical symptoms then my mind starts going hard. I ruminate about whether or not the stress will cause intrusive harm thoughts which in turn causes some intrusive harm thoughts. It’s very confusing and hard. I want to be someone who enjoys traveling and experiencing new things. I want so badly to enjoy this trip. Any advice helps. Thanks.
