I've never flown easily and in two days I have an 11-hour flight and then a 6-hour flight...this morning I woke up at 3am worrying about it (I usually sleep through the night unless worried). I know how irrational my fear is but that doesn't help. My doctor did give me a small amount of Xanax for me to utilize. I don't want to panic half-way over the Pacific.
I've been having bad issues with OCD the past two years or so- compulsions involving checking doors, the stove, refrigerator, and other appliances multiple times before leaving the house. I've ruined an overnight trip before because I feared I left the oven on (even though I KNEW it was off- my mind won't let me think otherwise). It's made me late for work. I'm going to really come clean with my doc when I get back about this.
I have a huge fear this stuff is gonna creep up on this trip. It's supposed to be a relaxing vacation with my spouse and I don't want to ruin it...
