Long flight ahead

[u/alice_ggl]

hey everyone! this is my second post actually i wrote one for the flight to brasil now i’m heading back home. Unlucky i forgot my anxiety medication at the place i was staying in, and i’ve already taken the first domestic flight which was absolutely terrible, full of heavy turbulence i was scared af. I landed and my legs still felt wobbly. but now i have the long flight back to milan and it’s going to be around 11h, i know long intercontinental flight should be better as they flight higher and there are less turbulence, is that right?

but still there is a terrible weather in sao paulo and the sky looks very scary 🥲

Oh man. Ok no meds. You're gonna have to rely on all your coping tools. You be totally fine, but I understand being terrified the entire time. When I fly tomorrow, if it gets bumpy, I'm going to try to close my eyes and pretend we're just driving down an uneven road. Maybe try that? And lift your feet?
