Flying to Mexico Success

I have been to Mexico 4 different times (only a 2.5 hour flight from where I live) and last week I was set to travel with my spouse to a wedding there. I have panic disorder (mostly under control due to medication and therapy) but planes are still the one thing that gets me. Days before my trip I couldn't sleep, constant anxiety and wanted to cancel. But I didn't and I'm so glad I didn't. I don't have a fear of flying but a feeling of being trapped and not being able to escape. My dr prescribes me a RX for things like flying and doctors appointments. That along with noise cancelling headphones and I was able to sleep the entire flight both ways. The vacation was so fun (even if I did panic at the thought of not being able to get back on the plane and getting stuck in Mexico for a little bit) and the flight was so smooth. The anticipatory anxiety was the worst part but in the end was so worth it.
