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.

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

I am going to a country I have never been before and am feeling on edge because I will have to face the Airport, a place that causes a lot of germ related anxiety for me and I will inevitably have to use a public bathroom at some point before I reach my hotel room. This is my biggest fear place-made infinitely worse because I am transgender and there has been a massive increase in transphobia and hate crimes related to trans people using public bathrooms.-I know there isn’t much that will help me with that fear but any general advice on traveling especially in unfamiliar areas would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I just needed some words of encouragement. I have a trip in a few weeks to Florida. I have severe airplane anxiety. I get unwanted thoughts and urges. I know I’ll never harm anyone but I always think “what if” I do. What if I get the urge to open an emergency exit, or I get the urge to say “bomb” out loud. I would never want to hurt anyone. I’m in serious distress and I’m thinking of cancelling my trip.

Any advice for flying longer flights after actively coming out of a ocd episode and now is scared of being anxious on the plane and anxious being somewhere new and how I’ll feel when I’m there and just scared of freaking out and being anxious the whole time and not enjoying myself etc.
