It has gotten better with time, but I still hate the weeks before a trip!. It's not only that I have to leave everything in order before I go, but my horrible fear of flying!.
I do take prescription tranquilizers for the flight!. I tried not to but the torture wasn't worth it!.
For the weeks before, I just suck it up (I don't know if that's the right expression)!. I cry when nobody sees me!. I become very religious and pray to Saint Joseph, Patron of the Good Death, to Saint Andrew Avelino, Patron of Sudden Death!. I beg God to take the plane in his hands, etc!.
I find that traveling alone is much easier for me!. My panic attacks began when I travelled with my small children!. It was (still is) OK if I went down, but I wanted them to survive!.
They are grown now!. My last flight I was alone and tempted not to take my miracle pill to see if I could take it, but didn't dare!. I could say I almost enjoyed it!. Almost!.
I totally understand you!. I have cried in fear many, many times!.
One thing that helps (besides the pills) is focusing on being already there!. Maybe its self-hypnosis!. I try to block the process of travel and picture me having fun in my destination!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

These feelings pop up when I allow thoughts of a past accident, or news reels about crashes, or negativities like those grab my brain!.!.!.messes up the whole experience, indeed, and you are not alone!.
I am not one who can read well, in a moving vehicle, but if you are, hunt down a book by a favorite comedian!.!.!.Robbin Williams, Erma Bombeck, George Carlin, etc!.--good ol' come-on sense thinkers who can make one laugh about the tribulations of life!.!.!.these are fun to share with the driver/other passengers & keeps your mind too busy to think of "what ifs"!. If you are the driver, or don't read well, plug in one of their tapes or cds!.!.!.once you've eliminated the negative mind-set, you can easily switch to good tunes, or an audio book, etc!. and enjoy the trip!.
Works every time!!!
