Does anyone have any tips on handling anxiety attacks on planes/cruises?
ByI get anxiety attacks when I feel trapped, so I am nervous about a cruise I’m taking in a couple weeks & the plan ride to get there. Does anyone have any tips for handling Anxiety Attacks while traveling? Medication doesn’t really agree with me, so that’s probably not an option.
I had suffer from anxiety attacks a while ago, the best thing to do is not to think of them, if before u go on the plane or the cruise u are already thinking that u are gonna have an anxiety attack, u are programming yourself…..just be optimistic about it, dont think about them…if u have one..the best thing to do, that works with me…think that it will soon pass….just dont loose ur head….it will pass it will pass….and if u have a partner, couple….try to talk about anything….anything at all…the worts thing is to be left alone with yourself and your nervous mind. Talk to the guy next to you..sing a song…anything…to distract for a moment your mind.

On the plane try a glass of wine. On the Cruise I am not sure if you wants to drink wine everyday.

I don’t know if this will help you. I have severe anxiety attacks. There is NO way I could talk myself out of one. I have to take medication or (knowing me) I’d have a heart attack and die.
BUT, it seems as tho yours are not that severe so I would try Yoga or a form of self hyposis. Everything I have read about anxiety attacks shows these to be an alternative to medications.
