How do you deal with anxiety during long flight delay?

Hey, this is my first time writing here 😅<br />I have a fear of flying (not a direct panic, but it's hard), and recently I got into a situation that only aggravated everything.<br /><br />The flight from Frankfurt to Vilnius was delayed for 6 hours - at first they didn't say anything, then they said "technical delay"<br />all this waiting, noise, lack of information - increased the anxiety terribly 😓<br />I understand in my mind that safety is more important, but my body just didn't listen<br /><br />What helped me at least a little was that I managed to get compensation later (via Lithuanian Skycop, European Rule 261), and this gave me a sense of control over the situation<br />but I still don't know what to do if this happens again<br /><br />how do you cope in similar situations?<br />any rituals? exercises? music?<br /><br />it would be very valuable to hear your experience 🙏
