The good news is that I've generally been doing a lot better, and have seen a vast reduction in symptoms. I even hiked a mountain this weekend!
However, next week my partner and I travel via plane to Scotland for a friend's wedding and holiday. I'm having increasing nervous thoughts about the plane ride, being in another country, etc. and if "something" were to happen while we were there or on the plane. Especially on the plane - partly because I caught a glimpse a few weeks ago of a headline about a young woman who died of a pulmonary embolism on a plane, and blood clots are my primary fear. :weep:
Trying to do my best to distract myself but any advice on reassuring myself that the trip will be just fine would be helpful. I know logically that the likelihood of something catastrophic happening is tiny, and I've been declared healthy by my doctors months ago after extensive tests, but the normal trip anxiety is combining with the health anxiety and making things difficult.
