I don't intend to do ever (again)...

I never want to go to a swimming pool, go on a date or marry again.

Wear uncomfortable shoes
Bop (jiggly dancing, I look ridiculous)
Ice Skate
Buy a caravan/get involved with the towing
Eat smoked salmon
Go back to my NHS dentist

never say never is my intention - always up for excitement and fun even if it is dangerous! And make up - I even put it on to go to water aerobics!!

Tweedle24, I agree with Sara65, it's both! It's not yet socially acceptable to say that you think flying without a very good reason is irresponsible when we're in a climate emergency, but it is ok to say that you are scared of flying. I subscribe to both, and as for airports...!

Conni7, you may well have other reasons for not wanting to go abroad than just avoiding flying, but we've been going to European countries by train for years now, and although it takes longer (particularly when you're starting from as far north as we do) it can be good fun and you do see a lot more than from a plane. I can recommend it!

Drive again.
Touch a snake.
Go grey/white.

Newatthis Me too, I wear a tinted moisturiser for aqua aerobics, but I also do my eyebrows and wear mascara. It's the full face of make-up normally

Just curious question to those who will never fly again. Is it the actual flying or all that dreadful hassle at the airport?

Both. Plus find it increasingly disgraceful to destroy the world whilst "seeing" it.

I have had many fabulous foreign holidays, but I’ve always hated flying, when they shut the doors and it starts it’s journey to the runway I feel panic rising

I did it for years for the sake of the children, and I’m glad I did, but when my passport came up for renewal, I decided not to bother, my husband goes to Europe for work several times a year , so he still gets his flying fix

Actually I'm not ruling anything out!

BlueSapphire, I hate to tell you this, but you almost certainly will go grey or white, even if you haven't already. If you dye your hair to disguise it, it isn’t you, it’s dye. It’s a con!

Give myself a Pernod hangover. It was beyond grim.

(Circa 1973, when I was young and foolish and thought a new cloudy-looking aniseed flavoured drink was a bit like milkshake.)

I will never again wear heels (unless small wedges)
Never go back to Spain
Never have my hair coloured
Never say yes to something just because others pressure me---make me feel if I don't do it no one else will

Day6

For me it was rum and black! Can’t bear the smell of it till this day

Just had this rather profound thought whilst enjoying a second G&T after a lovely day on the beach, that Never Again will happen soon enough when we’re dead - let’s not restrict ourselves before then......

Oh yes Sara - I tried that too! Another sickly drink! (I asked for it in a pub a few years ago when I had a really bad cold and wanted something warming. OH was served a white rum in a half of Guinness! The pub was in the south of England though!)

Oh if only I could say I will never fly again. I am not scared, I just utterly loathe every minute. The hassle of getting to the airport, the crowds, the endless waiting around, the travel delays, the daft times you always seem to end up leaving or arriving, being squashed in with all those people, the mind boggling boredom, staring at a minature screen trying to distract yourself from the horribleness, the person in front putting their seat back to the point you can barely move, trying to sleep sitting up, the horrid toilets, the opportunity to get DVT or - more likely - a streaming cold, destroying the planet and negating about a years worth or more of trying to recycle the rubbish - per trip. Paying good money for all of the above. I could go on and on. Unfortunately son lives in the States and so we are stuck with it.
On a more positive note I dont intend to ever work again for money - and I am so so grateful.

Pantglas

That sounds lovely, enjoy

- let’s not restrict ourselves before then......

Actually, saying "never again" is freeing!

What is restricting is feeling you should do XYZ, being a "yes" person etc.

I do not feel obliged to do these things that I dont enjoy, where is the restriction in that?

Love living on my own, no one to please, eat what I like get up when I like, go to bed when I want pure bliss

I agree notanan

It’s liberating to Say, no thanks, I don’t want to, so I’m not going to

The young women in the hairdressers I go to asked me if I was intending to grow old disgracefully.
I had to tell them I can't actually be bothered.

Never want to feel so bad again. My husband of 35 years has left me.

12 you probably never will feel so bad again because things can only get better. Ŕead through some relevant threads on GN and you'll find that those of us who have been through it really do find themselves again.
I'm sorry you are currently at this stage but get involved here and you will find support positivity and encouragement.

Number12 - sorry to hear about your troubles. Here are some x

I'm so sorry this has happened Number12 You must be devastated. The only advice I can give is to take one day at a time, make sure your interests are protected and let family and friends support you. mcem is right, this too will pass although you won't be able to see a way forward straight away. Bon courage.
