Flying

[Betha]

I am so scared. I am about to fly home and I am so afraid to fly! I don't know how to get through this. It is almost 10 hours of flying. All I keep thinking is that I am going to die it is a horrible feeling

You can do this Betha! You're going to be fine. I used to have a very bad fear of flying. But then I started flying more and more. Just the thought of sitting in a plane made me break out in a sweat. Would you believe that I now listen to cabin sounds to fall asleep?! It's so beautiful once you're up in the air. Can you bring some items to distract yourself? I use my iPod and watch movies.

Thank you! I made the first leg just landed in Amsterdam. The fight attendant gave me a beautiful bag of goodies she was great

Good for you Betha!!! It really does get better the more often you do it. I always get a little nervous before a flight now but I am WAY better than I used to be. Our thoughts really are scary than reality. Enjoy the rest of your trip home

Hi! My Dad had the fear of flying & the flight was only 30 minutes. He went to the doctors & he gave him some diazepam5mgs x 5tablets. But he finally overcome his fears & he now travels on the plane with ease

Made the first leg! How did he overcome his fear

Remember the facts...you are safer on a plane than in a car.

I have a very good family friend whos husband was terrified of height so flying and anything to do with heigts was terrible he overcame is phobia by getting experienced with the fears during the events he hated flying due to the height guess what he does now hes a private jet pilot and flies all day long for many years he has been doing this so the fears are just merely thoughts and we can overcome EVERYTHING as long as we put ourselves in the terrible situation we can overcome it all
