Same old same old, Well long time since I posted on this site, but I have a flight in under 8 hours.... I know as always that I will be OK, but as Andrew always points out, its the anticipation of it, and when I get going a little boo monster begins to roar in the back ground. Well I must control this monster, and I can I am sure, but always seek this site for re-assurance, crazy as it seems, but none the less it's true. This site is a wonderful forum for expressing such anxiety, and I wonder if my mind troubles with dealing with excitement and fear, and distinguishing the two? So my fellow AP sufferers I sleep restlessly and await the pending journey, and the sad thing is the flight is only 3 hours....! I have been to America a few times now and have conquered this fear by peeing many occassions, still always brought down to Earth every time a journey looms, and this is a Holiday! I hate this AP condition and I am going to beat it, but it is a slow journey, I feel the need for another AP Course I think.
Good Luck AP sufferers and Positive Mental Attitude, (Must practice what I preach Hey!!!)

Hi Peter
Good to hear from you! You know how you have no problem at work deaing with someone trying to sell you something that's not up to scratch; I wonder if it would help to get into that mindset and deal with your Boo Monster that same way: he is a charlatan, trying to pull a fast one on you. Could you shut your eyes, visualise a real case that you have dealt with, then have that guy be the Boo Monster. I bet you could put him in his place!
Have a great holiday; and I'm sure your journbey will be a piece of p**s!
best
Andrew
