Jo and gal,
Preparation is the key! Work through this anxiety and challenge your thoughts. Use the exposure plan to help guide you. You can also start with the Panic Diary to help pinpoint the areas that you need assistance with.
Let us know if we can help,
Keep Strong,
Josie

Hi Guys I forgot to mention we have all got these flight socks that come up to the knoee to wear on the plane as I am convinced about DVT scares me but I am scared to wear the socks as they are really tight they get tighter as they go up the leg and it says if you have problems wearing them to seek medical attention what is that all about I know I will have a panic and feel funny about wearing them. What problems can they give you they are only cotton and elastic.
