Staying still;Not facing..

Hey guys so i have a huge problem that is affecting me & my future... It is fear of flying..because I'm afraid of having a panic attack in the middle of no where & having no place to chill. Also the idea of floating in the sky with nothing under me is freaking me out.. i literally can't breathe when im in an elevator and cant believe when i get out.. so how about a 6 hour flight!? This is giving me stress & anxiety although im just 18. I assure myself that I'm going to be fine & that it's fun to fly,but i just can't kid myself..& i can't take any relaxants cause seriously can't swallow pills i feel as if im choking & as if it's stuck in between in the airway passage of my nose ... i need help & advice; heck if anyone has a free ticket to try flying within a short distance would be nerve wrecking yet great 🤦🏻‍♀️😂.

If you can't avoid flying altogether,,, Probably I would recommend that your medicine would be the best to calm you down, if you can't swallow them whole you could get a pill cutter and cut in half and take with food or crush pill and put it in applesauce... And chewing gum on the flight might relieve some tension ... Definitely take someone you know on the flight with you to talk to ... Maybe take a book to read...

I can't swallow pills either I'll chew a xanax but for you I would try hypnotherapy and relaxants.
