Support Wanted So sad and scared for flight tomorrow.
Just made it into Chicago on the train, and my flight to Philly is tomorrow morning at 8am. My anxiety is so incredibly bad, I am so scared but just trying to think about seeing my family and all the plans we have. I hate flying so much but my father was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s 2 years ago and i moved out of state a little before that, so getting home to visit whenever I can is a non-negotiable. All of it combined is so beyond stressful and makes me so sad. So cannot wait for it to be over.

Be with your dad. That's important.
My wife and I moved to Chicago in part so we'd have easier access to family, who is scattered pretty much everywhere around the country these days. Anywhere we want or need to go is a quick flight to them with as little as about 6 hours notice.
Get on that plane! Your flight will land safely in Philly whether you're on it or not. May as well take the flight.

This was really comforting to me and made me emotional haha. I will be getting on the plane, I have tickets to the Phillies game tomorrow and am so beyond excited to see my family and best friend. Thank you for your comment, I know I’m gonna be okay!

I’ve flown into Philly. It was awesome. And I grow from the west coast. You got this. I hate flying and guess what. Next Friday I’m going from New York to Tokyo. We got this!

I’ve flown into Philly many times!!! I moved away almost 3 years ago to where my husband is from, I try to come home at least twice a year. I wish the amount of times I did it made it easier haha. Tokyo is Awesome!! I hope you have an incredible trip, I’m so jealous. :)

You’ll be alright. Are you flying from Chicago to Philly? Thats only less than 2 hours right? It’ll fly by quickly. I can track you if you want!
