I’m so sorry for you, pokey, what a tough situation and what a tough decision. I don’t know if that is helpful and of course one cannot generalize, but I have made the experience that my brain gives me some space when I have to do something really stressful like a difficult work situation or traveling. Very often, the symptoms subside during the stressful time. I had to fly once (and back)when I was still quite early in my journey, maybe seven months after the almost CT that I did. It was really manageable. but I have to add that there was no change in time zone involved.

I would encourage you to plan on taking the trip and prepare yourself accordingly and if it is impossible on this day, you have to accept, but at least you have given yourself the chance. And maybe you will have the strength to do it!

Our loved ones are the most valuable “thing” we have on this earth. I wish very much for you that you can be reunited with your wife and daughter. ❤️ you are in my prayers, @Pokey449

Thank you @Nemina I wish it was just WD I was dealing. A personal crisis has erupted which is adding greatly to my stress level. And I’m still getting poor sleep due to CPAP. It’s about more than I can handle. I’ve called 988 at least twice due to thinking of a final solution. To be honest I’m in crisis.
