Some advice needed...My OH is in SE Asia and has been since November and looks like he'll be there till October. I've got a chance to spend 2 weeks with him at Easter BUT I have a big problem with flying and can't imagine spending 12 hrs on a plane on my own. I get v panicky in anything 'enclosed'...you name it... lifts, busses, trains etc.. I have been practising and going on trains but only with a good friend. Managing to feel my fear but need someone with me I know.
Can't seem to do it on my own yet.
I'm tempted just to book my ticket and deal with it when I get there but there's a part of me that is quite simply terrified....
I just don't know what to do. He thinks I'm making excuses and just don't want to travel out there. He doesn't really 'get' the panic attack thing.
There was a chance my cousin would come with me - he was planning a trip to Thailand but it looks like he won't be able to now. The thought of travelling with him made the journey bearable...
Oh, I dunno...it's late and my mind's working overtime!
Thanks for listening....
