going to florida tomorrow with wife and son and im in a terrible state

[diane07]

why hun? do you not like flying?

[mark48]

yeh and being away from home im like this everytime we go away but it seems worst this time

[diane07]

Listen hun,

The thought of doing things is always worse than doing the deed itself, try and understand that its a holiday you are going on, its a good thing, and not something bad, i hate being away from home but i force myself, i have to, nothing bad will come from it.
Music is my biggest distraction or watching a film or something.

Take a notepad and write a diary of how you are feeling you could share it with us all when you get back, and always remember nothing bad will happen its just a holiday.

ive been shaking and crying for most of the day which isnt nice for my 10 year old son to see,im taking my laptop with me so if you want ill keep you informed

[diane07]

Mark,

[mark48]

were going for 2 weeks we went to exactly the same place last year and i was bad for the first 2 days but somehow felt ok after then and really enjoyed it,why am i like this again

[diane07]

Because you were bad for the first two days hun,

you just remember it, and waiting for it again, do remember, after being a member for five days you can enter the chat room, we will help you out, you will be absolutely fine, nothing bad will come from a panic, it just stops, there is nowhere else for it to go.

I admire you to be honest, that you feel the way you do and you still booked the holiday, a big pat on the back is what you need, just remember you have done this before, the same holiday, and all was okay, all will be absolutely okay again.

aww thanks for your kind words di are you on here most nights and do the other members have great advice like that its what i really need to here right now

Hi Mark,

Welcome to NMP. I grew up and spent most of my life in Florida and you are going to have a fantastic time!!! Please try and focus on the present and not the future. It is when we focus on the "what ifs" that get us into trouble and I know because I also have trouble with flying. I'm also glad that you are taking your laptop so you can keep us informed on how much fun you are having. I would not worry about your son seeing you upset because it is good that he knows you are human. You will be fine and I know the weather there right now is spectacular as I have family there right now! Have a wonderful holiday!

Take care,

Laura

[diane07]

I'm on here too many nights lol,

Seriously, there are so many lovely people on this site that will help you out massively, we all suffer in different ways, and all learn from it, we take strength from each other, i suppose.

Do keep us updated on how you are doing

Many here, will take inspiration from you going on this holiday

best wishes
