Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
Diva, travelling with a toddler would make anybody anxious! Our daughter is now 3 and I've done alot of flying with her-only domestic though. Hopefully your child will sleep for most of the flight unlike my daughter. Bring a small magna-doodle pad and lots of fun snacks including a lollipop. Candy calms the wild beast within!
Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
I too get nervous when I travel by plane. The thought that the plane can at any moment plunge down and kill us all is unsettling.
Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
Atlanta, I don’t think that’s helping. 
Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
Diva dont worry I've traveled with little kids make that 5, and the plane that I was on everyone had children, young ones. So dont worry :)
Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
seriously though saima. Just think about it. It’s like someone pushing you from a 100 story building. As you are falling, you know the pain you are about to feel. The plane doesn’t all of a sudden just drop out of the sky. So can you imagine what goes through a person’s mind as the plane is speeding toward earth. 
Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
If you do take dear kind Atlanta's advice and think of those things ^
you can take something called "rescue remedy" which is a concoction of extracts of flowers from the "bachs flower remedies range"
the "rescue remedy" alleviates anxiety and come in a little spray (like mouth freshener) or a little bottle with pippette and you put a couple of drops on your tongue and a few minutes later the anxiety is gone.

Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
Flying is a horrible experience.. unless its first class :k:
but get a book you can totally absorb yourself in..
I find it always helps when ur sat next to someone nice and talkative..
if its really bad.. knock down some brandy and get some sleep 
Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
^ Id hate to sit next to someone like you, All I want is to relax and take some time out to gather my thought and think for a while ............. I'd hate to have some babbling stranger talking to me about their insignificant little lives:)
As for the brandy
Toba Toba Toba!
Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
Try and think of the things you'll be doing on your trip. I hope it is a 'vacation'/pleasure' trip that you're going on so you can think about the places to visit/the shopping/eating out etc.
Basically think of all the fun you'll be having. That always gets me excited :)

Lazy Daisy.. agar hum safar ke qaidi hothay.. tho tum dua karthi ke yeh safar kabhi khatham na ho.. :p

Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
^^^ Dont listen to that lady................ she is the devil incarnate, she told me herself!
Re: Anxiety for a long trip/flight ahead.
Diva I hear ya. I'm getting really stressed about my trip to the middle east coming up in a few weeks as well. I dunno, divert your attention before the trip. Spend time with friends, family. Hope it goes away. And if you have found something that works, please let me know as well!!!
