I think we may be getting a bit off topic, as I am now doing a lot better And my therapist has released me from weekly sessions but I still struggle from time to time. For awhile a year ago, I wasn't but I've improved. I'm no longer needing to grasp on to just that next appointment to get me through. I was there 12 months ago. And I haven't used benzodiazepine's since Dec of 2013. Exercise is my drug of choice. It's helped me immensely, plus I lost 20lbs too.
It's just I was concerned - could I do this? Yes, the benzodiazepines are a very last resort. I don't like to take them. I've flown before it's just been nearly 8 years. But I'm reading the book and I find myself saying, "yes, yes, yes...that's how I feel," and retraining my brain not to panic at uncomfortable things makes sense! I just wish I could practice more which I think we will try to do.
I steer clear of the news but since my breakdown, as I refer to it. I just question whether I can handle it or not. My husband says it is up to me to deicde that, that I am in control of these feelings. He's usually right as much as I hate to admit it. He helps me face things and tells me that avoiding them makes it worse and facing them makes it better. He's extremely understanding and helpful at the same time.
I'm a little confused with the reduced thrust take off and the full power take off, is it in the thrust take off where you feel like you've slowed down about 20 seconds in but really you've not? Can you ask about that when you meet the pilot? (I also don't do rollercoasters, not that that's not obvious.)
Thank you so much for your responses.
