Hiya Hun
Right with you here on this one.
Have you sorted out your suitcase yet (Maybe abit early perhap)s but that may keep you occupied re deciding what you will be taking. Maybe plan what fave magazine you can take with you on the flight.
Just a few ideas for starters
You can do this hun & we are all here to support you, bet you will have such a fab time once you get there & i wanna here all about it.

Hi Ammeg,
My advice would also be to do things to distract your mind. And also I know it's hard, but to try not to worry and to try keep an open mind of what it will be like. Often I've expected the worst and what I've thought would happen hasn't.
Take Care,
Heather
Had a funny feeling you might be organised already lol.
Yeah i agree its a good idea to go through what you have packed once again, you never know you may have forgotten to pack something.
Have you packed your camera???
Have fun

I know exactly what you mean about feeling excited and terrified at the same time. I was like that when I last went on holiday, I found when I got there though I started to relax. I think you'll be fine.
Take Care,
Heather
Hurray loads of pics to look at i like looking at holiday photos.
Im terrified, excited & nervous about my wedding in August, will be such a wonderful day though so i know i will be just fine.

Hi ammeg, hope you have a great holiday which i am sure you will. You are right the waiting for anything is worst than the event, I put off eye surgery for 3 years cos of fright and I know making the waiting longer made my anxiety 100 times worst. Put on a walkman or mp3 player and try remembering all the words to the songs, Do some puzzles they realy distract you. and keep telling yourself over and over I am in good health and I am not afraid, I know you are just anxiety and cant harm or spoil my holiday. take care.

Hi Ammeg
Just a thought but I found it really helpful to wander round the airport shops, it helped take my mind off boarding the plane, I even treated myself to a gorgeous new bikini and all the way there I kept thinking about how I could wear my new bikini when I got there, I know it might sound a bit silly but it really helped to distract me!
Good luck & I hope you have a fantastic holiday

Gem,
I know this is such a bigger step than when you went out to get your hair cut but look at how great you did then! You will do this and have so much fun. Just think of all the great stories you will have to tell us when you return. I know you can do this and will have a wonderful time. Since you are already ready for this trip, try to just do things to take your mind off of it and not dwell on it as it will just make you anxious. Try starting a new book!
Bel
Thanx belle
i know i can do it- tryin to be calm!!! only a week to go now!!! when i think about it me throat goes all blocked and i have to make a call to the loo!!!! lol
R u havin a big white wedding alex or a slitly quieter one???

I hate Holidays simply for the fact that you just worry about the Anxiety all the time.
I find I just make list of things to do and get really organised, like you have already done... lol
Just find loads of things that you enjoy to occupy you on the plane, gammes IPOd, books, Mags etc.
Look throu your holiday brochure and plan what you are going to do before you get there.
The day you are flying pamper your self before, like long bath, de-fuzz (shave) Face mask, hair mask, paint all your nails etc, this should take a few hours and may relax you a little
Hope this helps

Hi Ammeg,
I always take a couple of chewable aspirin, 4 hours before and then again 1 hour before a flight. I originally did it before a long-haul flight, as a precaution against DVT (deep vein thrombosis, clotting in your blood vessels caused by cabin pressure and sitting still in a cramped space for too long - aspirin thins the blood). But now I take aspirin before any flight at all, even short-haul, just as a reassurance! I don't like flying, so it's just one little way I can calm myself down, by giving myself one less thing to worry about!
I'm confident your flight and holiday will go fine. You've had some great suggestions already. Good luck to you!
All the best,
Jason
Thanx hayles and jason
Hayles- its gonno be a lazy holiday so i plan to do nothin, got that covered, and i will pamper meself as well as doin all them things us girls need to do so we dont get stared at!!! thanx
Jason- um well im only 20 and am not really at to much risk from dvt, i will be movin plenty so i will duck out on chewin asprin. I love to fly and am not nervous about that side of things at all- thanx
