Here is a wild trick. I once had a massive internal panic attack before taking off. I had my mask and sunglasses on, my heart was beating out of my chest. The flight was held at the gate asking passengers if they wanted to get off take flight vouchers etc.. I literally thought it my head, I am going to ring for medical attention but I sat there. Once we were in air, my calm down was when the flight staff started working on the in cart service. For whatever reason.. that snapped me back to life. Now, anytime I get on a plane my calm down in is initial in flight service. Its weird I know.

I always feel calm as soon as they start serving. I think it's because if they didn't, it might imply something is wrong. If they're happy serve even while we are still climbing, then it must be okay! I also am happy to see the smiles on the flight attendants faces. This is their daily office after all!

because of you I am motivated to beat my 12 years old agoraphobia. I had years, where I could travel, but since the pandemic my symptoms are worse. yesterday I visited a friends birthday 46 km away from my home, over the autobahn. and I was so so afraid. But I did it. Thank you for sharing and giving hope.

I felt every wave of panic and trigger, I feel for you so much because I can truly relate! Agoraphobia and panic disorder is not easy. It really feels like you’re gonna die. Idk if this could help anyone else but I just learned the other day that some people have experienced a great reduction in panic attacks by taking iron supplements in safe amounts. The low ferritin blood levels (which isn’t routinely tested for) seems to be correlated with anxiety and panic symptoms. I am on iron now and only a few days in but hoping that I get some relief soon if this is a missing link.
@kcli98256 ай бұрын
It happens to be as well that I have felt some panic and anxiety these few years and at one health check up , it turns out I’m really low in ferritin and my hb, I feel much better after taking the supplement and feel like I can deal with the anxiety better. Hope you are feeling better after the iron supplements as well!

little details have been amazing- that you chose the seat beside exit as it is considered to be the safest. or that I’am safe t-shirt at just the right spot because we tend to look down first thing once we feel anxious so I apply this trick of looking up and moving my body more when something happens

Do you think we will ever get over anxiety? or is it a life long thing we have to live with? Also, I don't know if this will help you but I have been telling myself I am fine and I'm not going to die. That helps me snap out of an anxiety attack as soon as it happens. I am stuck in my house and I can't leave due to Anxiety attacks but hopefully I can get over it soon.
