Request

Hi, I am going to be taking a flight this Friday 7.30am to go to another city to see a psychiatrist for a formal diagnosis for dissociative identity disorder. It's the first time taking a domestic flight, and travelling on my own. I am going to be anxious and anxiety causes me to trance out and not think straight. I'm wondering if anyone will be around to chat with, like travel with me, distract me for the couple of hours I will leave the house to my destination. I think that describing what's going on, what I am seeing, etc, will stop me from dissociating. Apparently I have to be there at 5.30 to fly out at 7.30! I guess that means I will be leaving at 4.30am. I must be crazy...lol. No one has to commit, cause to be honest, I may not even remember writing this request. 🤞🤞🤞:face_with_rolling_eyes:🤦‍♀️🤪😂

Thinking of you today @Lemonjuice . Hoping anxiety is at a manageable or part manageable level.

Hoping the flight has some good parts, and your appointment is successful.

Ok, I am at the gate sitting down waiting for it to open. I've got the child with me, almost switched a few times. She's on an adventure and there's images of children's story books about a trip to the airport. She's amazed by the people. All I am thinking about is omg, please god don't let me vomit or get the runs. I just want the gates to open cause I think I will calm down once I am in the air. It's only an hour and a half. I want to hide, not be here. Breathe. Going to try and be present...no, going to read the news, Trump is good for some things.
