Now that I've made my deposit, secured my plane tickets, applied for my passport, and started my preop diet... I'm freaking out. I'm trying to talk myself down but I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I'm scared. I have sleep apnea, which I've disclosed, but I'm terrified it won't be handled properly. That I will suffocate under the anesthesia. That they will forget to put my cpap on me in recovery. That I will die or have brain damage.

The anxiety is keeping me awake at night. I am so overwhelmed.

It's all so overwhelming... Most of the time I'm confident about this... But sometimes... Ya know?

I'm really wiggin out too. I have only done the passport part, I'm nervous about all of it. I've never flown, never booked a flight etc. and I haven't the slightest clue what to do once I get in the doors of the first airport. What to do when I get off my plane. I picture myself like a headless chicken. Usually In high stress situations I get a debilitating migraine and that wouldn't help matters.

I want to see my pcp for anxiety meds or muscle relaxants but owe some money and might not be able to get in. Sigh.

Anyway, this isn't my tread I don't intend to take your thread over, but I just wanted you to know that I am wigging out too.

Of course you didn't take over. I knew I couldn't be the only one panicking. Have you considered googling: advice for 1st time flyers or something like that to offer step by step advice on how to make it seamless?
