Any Advice?

[michigan07]

I have had anxiety for many years but it's mostly controlled with therapy and Meds. I am supposed to be going on a vacation with my wife and her sisters in a few days. Unfortunately, I am fighting the flu right now. When I have the flu my anxiety seems to kick up as well. We will be going on a cruise which involves flying south and being in a small room on a boat for a week (my first cruise). It takes some courage for me to fly but I do it, just never done it feeling sick and having anxiety. I hope to feel better in the next couple days but I was wondering if anyone had advice to reduce anxiety when flying or if on a cruise how best to deal with anxiety if it presents itself ?

I have to take an Ativan 1/2 hr before a flight.  It really seems to help.
