a days till WL and anxiety strikes!

[Taratink]

I am in vacation anxiety mode. 2-3 days before any trip I start to get extremely nervous about flying with my kids. The nightmares start and I stay in a panic until we get to the hotel. Wow, that sounds crazy. Please tell me that I am not alone. The only thing that calms me is thinking about the lobby of the WL.

You are not alone feeling that Way. My husband is the same way. He actually gets ill. But once we land he is fine untill it is time to come home.
Relax! I am sure everything will be fine!

I am the same way. You are not alone. In fact, I will go out of my way not to fly. I wasn't like this until I had kids.

 

[cyndibelle]

ahhh yes that is why i always have my xanax at hand for my plane rides...NEVER EVER leave home without it..hubby and i are flying in a week or so without the kids and i am even more nervous....cause what if something happens ...and we well..you know..never come back and the kids are left without us...oh geesh....great now i am freaking....time for a pill..

 

[gottaluvPluto]

Sorry to say this, but I'm glad I'm not alone. Sometimes I feel that I'm ..... being silly.

Yes, Xananx is a good thing.

I guess I am dumb, but is that a perscription? Or over the counter pill?

 

[imatoad]

I don't get anxious over the flight, just the anticipation, and haunting feeling that somthing is going to happen to prevent the trip. Silly, huh.

I always get anxious also. But about many things. The Flight, maybe something terrible will happen at home when I am gone etc..
Once We settle into the room I tend to settle down.

 

[chatty]

Me too.. I start to worry about the grown kids (silly) the money, the furnace (it's old), the pets that they will miss me, the Grandaughter, my 80 year old parents, and so on.. Crazy but once I get there and call home I am alright. So I don't think your silly it happens to me all the time.

This is exactly the feeling I get. I've gotten over my 'fear of flying', but am very nervous a couple days before the trip until I'm on the plane. I'm afriad something is going to happen that will make me cancel/delay the trip. It's especially bad if I have to drive to Omaha or KC to fly. Arriving at my resort makes it all worth it!

 

[sweetinmaine]

Thanks to all of you! I thought it was just me. I get worried about the flight, missing the family, the whole deal...My kids are grown and out on their own now. Luckily, this time we are all going, grandkids too! I'll have to check into this Xanax stuff.

 

[cyndibelle]

yes xanax is a prescription and well i am lucky enough to be prescribed it for a few reasons so i have it always on hand...thank god...but....if you have a cool doctor and you explain to them how you get over anxious etc about flying they should give you something for that....and trust me...there is nothing better than being to relax on the flight...and not be worrying about the kids...about the house (whether its on fire or not), about the bills, the pets, the family, the car if you locked it or not, about the mail, and these are all things before you have even left the ground yet...

 

[Taratink]

Thanks for all of the support. I have my lorazepan ready. The dogs are at the kennel and my bags are packed and I am ready for my full panic to begin! No, I feel a little better tonight.

Xanax...I NEVER fly without it!!!!!

I have to say that I am the same way. We drive down to Disney, but, I have a trip to Vegas planned for the end of April. I am totally freaked, and I don't know how I will be able to do it. I plan on getting some Xanax from my Doc. and having alot of activities with to keep me busy.

Good Luck!
