Having major anxiety. Flying alone tomorrow

Mrs.JDD

My friend is getting married in Hilton Head and I'm flying out tomorrow night.  It was too expensive for all of us to go so mh and the kids are staying home.  I started having such terrible anxiety yesterday that I was crying off and on all day.  I got in to the dr and got some valium.  It defintiely helps...I'm due for another pill now   I'm pretty much just convinced that the plane is going to crash and that my children are going to be left without a mother.  Also, I'm just not an independent person, so traveling, renting a car, driving around unfamiliar places...it's just not good.  I can't wait until Saturday when I get home again!

I'm sorry. M flew with DH last week and I knew for sure she was going to die on that plane. Super morbid and weird and completely irrational. Obviously, she made it just fine. You'll be fine--relax and have a good time!

I'm right there w/you now - minus the valium.  I flew alone yesterday to Sioux Falls (bleh) for work and am not going home til Friday morning.  This is going to be a long week.  But at least you're going to a fun place for a fun event!

I totally understand! I also have to be medicated to fly, and I'm positive I wouldn't be able to fly alone. I just try to think of how many people fly daily and are fine, it's hard though! You'll have a great time in HH though, we're going in a month.

Can you have someone meet you at the airport?

Tell an attendent that you are nervous.  Depends on the airline, but in my experience they usually will go out of their way to talk to you and provide comfort.

poor thing....just take your valium and try to relax.

would you feel better if you had a will?  DH and I really need to do one.
