Hi IronButterflyWings,

I can definitely relate to what you describe from my own personal experience, so what you write about is not abstract to me, but very, very real.

Your feelings are very understandable to me which is probably why I try to always travel by train.

I usually take my anti-anxiety medication when I am in your situation at airports but I can understand what you said about them making you drowsy. That happens to me too.

I hope your two friends can be helpful to you.

Sorry I don't have anything really helpful to offer you in the way of advice. Hopefully others here will have some practical and useful ideas.

Wish I knew what else to say. I sure hope things work out of you so you will not be suffering!!! -- Yaowen
