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

i’m going on a 2 week mission trip in july and i’m so scared about how i’m gonna do without any electronics or anything (we aren’t allowed to bring any devices). my worst anxiety episodes happen when i’m free of distraction (like in bed or something) and i’m just so afraid that i’m gonna be really anxious throughout the whole trip. usually whenever i get anxious i try my best to sit in it and expose myself to it and NOT do compulsions, but once it has kind of subsided and i’m feeling better, i go on this app or something to kind of “cool down” i guess. does that make any sense lol. anyway, i’m just worried that bc it’s just going to be me and my thoughts for 2 weeks, i’ll have so many anxious thoughts and i won’t have anywhere or anyone to talk to about it (like i do here)—which i’m worried will make it worse. i don’t even know what i’m asking right now,,, i just don’t want my trip to be ruined or me not getting the most out of it because of my thoughts and anxiety. so i guess i’m asking if you have any advice or insights?? anything will help :))

I kind of feel like my ocd is just looking for something for me to panic about and I’m not letting it happen ! It’s trying to tell me that everything I see is not reality and blah blah blah I’m not doing this with it anymore . I’m not gonna let it mess up my day and My trip to Puerto Rico is in 2 weeks . I want to have fun ! I don’t want ocd to bring me down . Anyone have any advice on ignore the thoughts and not taking it serious ?

Any tips for fear of flying? I’m not actually scared of the act of flying. I more psych myself out with things like “what if I have a panic attack while I’m in the air for 9 hours and I can’t do anything about it?” “What if I go crazy and need to get to the emergency room immediately and I can’t?” I used to fly all the time, but since my OCD got really bad, being in a confined space in a situation where I have no control terrifies me. I haven’t flown in 2 years now. I’m just scared of having a panic attack in the air. And I always get that “am I going to go crazy?” feeling during a bad episode. I know I won’t actually go crazy, but I know especially being in the air is going to trigger that.
