Hi Lauryn: Welcome back! Well done! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself and that the flight wasn't what your anticipatory anxiety was showing you. You are a good example and inspiration for others here, me included. I'm flying out this summer for a holiday trip and will be thinking positive thoughts all the way. Congratulations.
I'm proud of you for reaching your goal of the flight without medication! It's great that you now have this positive experience to draw on in the future. And it's wonderful that you are willing to conquer this by facing your fears and repeating your experience. What do you think was the key item that allowed you to be successful that day?
Way to go Lauryn! Sounds like it went even better than expected. That is very impressive you didn't even need to use the medications. Remember how powerful your positive self-talk turned out to be. You're an inspiration for this fearful flyer!
Congratulations. See with the right attitude, perception and belief you can do anything. I am so glad you enjoyed the trip. If you replay it over and over in your spare time you will build a positive core belief to that effect. It should get easier now.
Again congratulations. Wow and with out meds too, more than I had hoped for you. Sorry but it really was a big challenge and you did it. I am so proud of you.
Hi Davit, Sunny, Teebs, Helena, Ashley and
Juanita,
I am back from Mexico! The day before I left my nerves definitely started to catch up with me but the morning of the flight I was feeling okay and the plane ride went great. The trip went by without any anixiety! I didn't even need to take my medications once. Which was my goal so I was happy about that. The flight home we were stuck in the Mexico airport for 4 hours (usually I like it to be timed perfectly so I have little waiting time in the airport) But I just spoke to myself and I did great. I was really proud of myself. The whole experience really gave me confidence. Now I just remember the more I put myself in these situations the better I will become in them.
Thank you all so much for your support I could not have done it without you!
