Hello, I'm a bit stuck...
In 2 weeks I'm getting on a 12 hour flight, on my own, and I'm extremely nervous. Haven't flown on my own in years...
I get v panicky when I feel enclosed, can't get off etc so trains, planes, boats, coaches are never much fun!
I've taken a few train journeys recently and TBH it was really hard work. I felt very panicky and could only get on with a close friend.
So, do I keep practising before I go or just face it on the day?! The issue is if I keep trying but I have a panic attack it takes me ages to recover and I'll often feel v apprehensive for a few days.
At the moment, I feel quite calm and positive so I don't want to ruin that. Saying that though I burst into tears this morning because the car broke down - I think I'm quietly nervous so I feel upset much more easily.
Does this make sense?!
Sorry, it's kinda rushed as I've got to meet someone in a few mins....
Shall I keep trying or just preserve the calm I have the big day?
Sorry bit waffley....
Any advice would be really appreciated!!
