I can't explain this, but on the day I'm going to fly somewhere, I'm scared about it from the moment I wake up. Maybe 'extreme anxiety' would be a better word, since I'm not actually afraid that I'll die at that exact moment; just anticipating it later on.

I remain in that state during the whole trip to the airport, during check-in, while going through security screenings and sitting in the departure lounge, and while walking through that arm thing that connects to the plane, right up until the moment that I actually sit down in my seat and buckle in.

And then I'm fine.

Happens every single time. And I've no clue why I could be terrified of flying when I'm on the ground, but totally fine when I actually am flying.
