Why has my flight changed course

Hello
Sorry I’m posting again but I’m on my flight to SFO (VS19) and we seem to be going off the planned course. We were due to go up over Scotland and now we’re heading out over Ireland.
I am really panicking as the pilot didn’t say much and sounded a bit unsure and now the engines keep accelerating and then going down again
It’s very strange never experience it before

In floods of tears at the airport

I have an 11 hour flight from London to San Francisco with my toddler
I’m so scared of turbulence and I’m on the last row of the plane
I always avoid the back because I know it’s bumpier and now I’m just sick with fear I don’t think I can get on

I feel absolutely sick and terrified.

I’m flying to San Francisco tomorrow from London with my 3 year old and just found out I’m on the absolute back row of the plane and my husband is not sitting with us.
I cannot go.
The forecast says moderate turbulence and I know it’s even worst right at the back. I know I’ll be having a panic attack for most of the flight and I don’t think I can put myself through it
Please help me I’m literally in tears this is my worst nightmare

Turbulence forecasts

Sorry I know you all probably hate this question so much. Since having my son I have developed such a terrible fear of flying. I’m doing a really long flight with him tomorrow (London- San Francisco) and I’m just so scared. I stupidly checked a turbulence forecast and it said moderate expected and the visual had big patches of orange which looks like bad weather.
It’s my worst fear flying into bad weather or bad turbulence and I’m so scared. How much can I trust it? Will we be able to route around it? I’m flying on VS19

Thank you so much.

Seriously considering cancelling my flights

Hello.
Long time anxious flyer here. I’ve made so much progress over the years but with everything happening in the world right now my anxiety is absolutely through the roof and I feel I have regressed massively in terms of this fear.
I’m due to fly to San Francisco (from London) in 2 weeks. I’m flying with my husband and 3 year old. On the return, I’ll be flying back alone with my son.
I honestly don’t think I can do it. The thought of being in a plane that long, all the things that could possibly happen, and being alone on the way back is making me feel physically sick. I keep thinking about hitting bad turbulence and being alone and terrified and of course worst case scenarios.
I genuinely don’t think I can go through with it. The anxiety alone will ruin the entire trip.
I don’t know what I’m looking for just know this community will understand. I’m in tears.
