Major anxiety about an upcoming trip.

[tooyoung99]

Hi all, I have been doing really well lately with my anxiety but I can feel it creeping up on me again.  I take 50mg of Zoloft daily and it has been doing the trick for me, but in about 2 weeks my husband and I are going on vacation for his birthday and the plane ride is making me feel anxious already.  It is only a 3 hour ride but all I can think about is totally freaking out and not having anywhere to run.  I really want to enjoy this trip but I can't get all of the worry out of my head.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get through the plane ride and enjoy the trip without worries?

I used to have a big fear of flying and I was freakin out bc I had to take a trip out to California from NY on my own for business. Suprising bc I was alone I did ok. that 6 hr flight helped cure my fear of flying.
If you are terribly upset see if your Dr will prescribe a few xanax. That should help take the edge off.
Please dont let this ruin what sounds like a wonderful trip!

Often doctors will prescribe Xanax or valuim I believe it is to help with situations like this... Or you could try speaking with someone about it before you go!!! Goodluck just think about all the fun you will have :-)
