[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP—I have travel anxiety too and here’s what helps me: Traveling by car when possible since I feel a greater sense of control Making sure I keep the small number of things I could not easily replace if lost/forgotten (like prescription meds, passport) close and telling myself it’s not a big deal if I forget things I can easily acquire when I land (toothbrush, etc). Delegating things to my spouse in the process if I find they are heightening my anxiety (figuring out damn airport parking app etc). Giving myself plenty of time when flying. Feeling rushed heightens anxiety for me. Finally, taking beta blockers. These aren’t benzos and keep you in full control cognitively but prevent you from going into a full blown panick attack, and that was always one of my fears—that I’d pass out while walking my toddler through the security line or something. Good luck OP![/quote]
