hey , i'm having some pretty anxious thoughts about flying on a plane, my flight is in 45 minutes and i'm so anxious about hyjacking and stuff. what could i do to calm down?

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.
