How can I get over my fear of flying?

Im so scared of flying in an airplane.How can i get over this fear?

  • I am flying from Texas to Chicago on Friday , and I am scared to death. How can I get over this fear? Who can help me please?!

  • Answer:

    Lots of people are nervous about flying & there are various ways to deal with this situation. You might want to contact your Dr. for a mild tranquilizer, or get an OTC product like Rescue Remedy. Some ppl have wine or another alcoholic beverage before or during the flight, but you can get dehydrated really quickly on a plane so this may not be the best idea. Also, practice slow, deep, controlled breathing a few times before your trip & use this calming technique as soon as you begin to feel fear. If you have a traveling companion, lots of pleasant conversation can help. The first time I flew I was terrified & almost had a major panic attack when the plane began moving. I was alone, traveling from CA to the East Coast for a brief visit. Once we were in the air & I saw how the clouds looked from *above* them, I became fascinated with the experience & was able to relax quite a bit. I've flown several times since then without a major problem. Have a pleasant journey.

wear a ipod, shut your eyes, chew some gum... and zone out.

You are more likely to die in a car than on a plane. So realize that your fear isn't based in fact. If you're over 21, have a drink in the airport bar before boarding. Otherwise, see if you can see a doctor tomorrow who can prescribe a seditive.

Look up some statistics and you'll realize that its very rare that malfunctions happen with planes. Just don't think about it too much. When boarding and in flight, chew gum and keep your breathing even. Try to keep your mind off of it.
