Hi - I have written before about how my husband has severe claustrophobia and how it effects his ability to ride on an increasing number of rides. He also gets panic attacks when traveling, and unfortunately he is going to have to fly across the country with the kids this weekend to attend a memorial (I’m flying separately due to scheduling conflicts). For those who suffer from panic attacks, what helps you get through them? He has 2 Xanax left from recent dental work so worse comes to worse be will take them, but he really doesn’t want to be “broken.” We have tried to minimize his triggers as much as possible (always extra leg room/aisle seats or first class if that’s not available, baggy clothing, no night flights, etc) but it just isn’t enough, and every trip he seems to be getting a little worse. He knows he should talk to someone if for no other reason than to have access to the occasional Xanax, but he doesn’t think therapy will help so far he hasn’t gotten around to it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
