Hi, @cindyvag - from what I know about experiences post-ICU, it's not unusual to have some emotional effects like the fear of flying you are describing, and it's very real (see https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/pics/newsfeed-post/breaking-it-down-what-exactly-is-post-intensive-care-syndrome/).

That will be a great help to have a husband who is so supportive. I know when I am anxious having my husband support me and there to talk things through with me makes a world of difference.

I also agree that your question about how you control the "funnel" and not worry about everything that gets said or over think things is an important one, and hoping other members here will have some input on this topic.

I know that @crstyday40, the original poster in this discussion, talked about extreme anxiety she was experiencing, along with symptoms of epilepsy. Do you by chance also have epilepsy or a seizure disorder?
