Have you ever been to the airport to visit? If not then go check out what the flight boards look like. Do a run thru as if you were flying to your destination. The gate won't necessarliy be the same but atleast you will feel like you have done it before and will know what to look for. Maybe you will be less anxious and your stomach won't cramp so much.
I don't know what size airport you are flying out of but if it is a large airport go check it out then you will feel more at ease if its familiar setting . For the two hour layover if you read take a book or a DSL or PSP.
good luck  |
Not as much anxiety as I used to but it is still there. It seems to come automatic even though I am excited about going on this trip. Excitement triggers the nervous gut too which kinda stinks.
I am flying out to visit some friends for three weeks. I mentioned the wrong flight even though I know it is probably not going to happen that I might get on the wrong one. However; since you mentioned about the attendants I feel better.
I really hope I can get through it without nervous gut. I guess the fear was that it will kick in ... even though I have been doing all possible through nutrition to keep it from happening (it was like irritable bowel). I have gotten much better about being around people but still ...
I will try to take some music along that might work. Thank you very much ...
