I cannot sit near any of the exits bc I’m convinced I will open them mid flight.

Or you’re too afraid to stand because you’re afraid your weight will cause the plane to drop… but you barely weigh 115lbs 😬

Don’t worry everyone. I prayed my preflight prayer just right so the plane should land safely as long as I didn’t do anything too sinful since the last time I went to church and repented. 😅😅😅

It’s crazy how long I’ve lived not realizing I have OCD & everyone doesn’t have these thoughts.

If I stop actively worrying about the plane falling out of the sky and try to relax then it actually will fall out of the sky because no one else is paying attention

As we are buckling our seatbelts my boomer mother turns to me and says “I sure hope we don’t crash.” Thanks mom. Really having me work that ERP this 3 hour flight.

the “what if thinking this thought makes it happen” is so real for me…although the anxiety list is all real for me

We won’t crash as long as I have my blanket, pillow, specific fuzzy socks, noise cancelling headphones, and a certain lotion. Also need to be 3 rows from the back on the left side window.

Then I tell myself that the anxiety I’m feeling before take off is some kind of premonition and I should get off the plane like one of those “I just had a bad feeling” stories

Can OCD occur after a significant traumatic event? I went through something that triggered thoughts like that for like a year but it’s slowly starting to go away
