Hello. I'm new and I just started the program a few weeks ago :)

I'm going to be flying to another country next month and will be on an 11 hour flight.
I've flown before for that long, but didn't handle it well. I kept having anxiety attacks over and over. It was a really bad experience and I'm trying to have confidence that this program will help me handle this time better.
So, does anyone have any suggestions or know some things that's worked for them on a looong flight?
I would very much appreciate it :)

What's worked for me in the past is to bring puzzle books and magazines. I like crosswords, sudoku, and the variety ones that have lots of different kinds of word and number puzzles. You can get them in the magazine sections of most bookstores, grocery stores, and drugstores.

When I keep my mind occupied, I tend to avoid what-if thinking and stay a lot calmer.
