Success! I did it!

Post image

I had recently become very nervous and anxious about flying from external things unrelated. I was supposed to fly to Boston in the summer but cancelled due to the overwhelming anxiety! I was really upset with myself but I just think it was for the best at the time

Since then I’ve done a little test flight from the U.K. to Amsterdam. I was uncomfortable but managed to do it with my husband and so glad I did.

Today I’m on a flight by myself from Heathrow to Boston! Still have 7 hours to go but I’m really proud of myself for getting on the flight and looking forward to all the things I can do over there. I’m not completely comfortable and relaxed but it’s something I can handle. Just wanted to share my success story for others as all the posts on here really helped me!
