Hello everyone. First time ever posting in this forum, but a long time viewer because I suffer from social anxiety, but this issue I'm having is more of a paranoid anxiety.
Basically, my friend invited me on a trip next month, and it's going to be my first time flying without my parents accompanying me, and I'm pretty excited, because this is a friend who I don't get to see very often.
Now normally, I don't really get scared when flying on planes, especially since I do it one to two times a year. But this paranoid anxiety stems from all the things I've been hearing about ISIS and their brutality. I'm just really afraid the flight I'll be on will become a grim reality of 9/11 happening again.
I'm sure I'm probably overexaggerating and getting really scared over nothing, but it's something that still lingers in the back of my mind, especially since things are starting to turn around in my life for the better, I really don't want it to end so abruptly.
Thank you for anyone who listens, or has insight.
