Been on sertraline for nearly 5 months planned this holiday a month ago and now it's nearly here I'm panicking and feeling very nervous and tips or advice, got a lift to the airport so that's fine just worried about flying which I never have been before, also hiring a car in France

    Lots and lots of slow, deep breathing. All the way in, slowly out, for a full minute. Do this multiple times a day, whenever you feel the panic. It really works. I also found saying positive affirmations to myself, aloud, really worked. Maybe something like -  I am in full control, I love to fly, I am healthy and happy, I have no worries.  Maybe Sounds odd but that really works. You are reprogramming the thoughts.  Have a great holiday!I know you will!

    You will be just fine! Just focus on having fun and not so much of the panicking. If you can get wifi on the plane feel free to email me anytime.

      Do that slow, deep breathing. Really works well.  Just pull over to the side. Close your eyes, roll down the windows, and breath for several minutes. Will help the pounding head too.  Have a good trip.
