Tomorrow I fly.
Sounds good huh?
Hmm.
It would be if I wasn't a)severely emetophobic,
b)prone to bad panic attacks
and
c) flying alone.
A negative way of viewing it all, I agree...
Positive things are that a) I go armed with a month's worth of Diazepam
b) I haven't dared to book a flight to go abroad for over 2 years
and
c) ... er.... I'm scraping the barrel here... c is........... Ok. There is no C. I'm scared. No two ways about it.
The other thing that I haven't mentioned is that a little bit of this holiday is about trying to get a little bit better and put on a bit of weight.
That's the promise I've made to my family and to myself.
Problem is, only a PART of me wants that.
What I would really like, is for a ceasefire. Just for a couple of weeks.
And yet... without all the frenetic exercise and the discipline and the anxiety and the scales... How can there be peace?
I'll attempt to write more.

Hey. Could I just point out that you only have 3 options for reactions to your posts. I know it's YOUR blog, and thus you're only asking for the reactions you're interested in, but it seems to me that most people's comments express interest, none of them boredom, and NONE of them disgust.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'd suggest one called 'brave', and one called sad, or upsetting, or moving, or something, and one called 'reSPECT!'.
Just a thought.
'Cos my feeling is, we do respect you, soul, and I, for one, would like to say so.
Hoping your flight was not too trying for you. I will pray for peace for your return flight as well!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI certainly understand the negative a and b. But your very first sentence 'Tomorrow I fly'. To be able to do that despite your fear, can I say wow. Keeping you in my thoughts.
