Help me with my fear of flying.....
I have flown since I was little. I fly about 5 times a year on average I would say. While I have never liked to fly lately I have developed an irrational fear of flying. I started taking Ativan before I flight which had helped in the past. This last flight from Vegas I had a full blown panic attack in the air. I convince myself the plane is going to crash. Every little bump, noise, & movement feeds the fire. I picture my kids growing up as orphans. Turbulance is terrifying for me.
At home here I scour the newspapers to read about plane crashes. I have searched the internet on plane crash statistics...1 in 11 million chance of dying in a commercial airline crash.
What the heck? Am I going crazy? I am freaking out about flying to Dallas in a month for PITS2.....
Anyone taken a fear of flying class? Any hints or tips to help me out?
