As a matter of fact, I actually look forward to getting on the plane now because I know it s a place I can get away from it all and relax without being disturbed! It s a shame that I needlessly suffered for so long chasing down phony cures and trying to numb myself to the anxiety, because what I discovered is that most everyone makes overcoming the fear of flying much more difficult and time consuming than it needs to be.

Everyone else on board just sat there reading their magazines or doing crossword puzzles, and I was filled with absolute terror before we even left the ground.

I d have nightmares and trouble sleeping, and my days were filled with repetitive negative thoughts I just couldn t seem to control.

Even before the flight, I was filled with anxiety that interfered with my work and life.

L....

Maybe I d run out of air and wouldn t be able to breathe and I would lose control and would try to open the door in the middle of the flight.

The days and even weeks prior to a flight were completely ruined by my fear of flying, but once I got on the plane, that s when the REAL trouble started.

It didn t seem fair and it made me even more frustrated that no one seemed to understand how powerful my fear was.

Now I fly all over the country whenever I want to, and I don t give it a second thought.

Maybe the plane would break apart and I would have to live the final few moments of my life in the crushing grip of fear.

Maybe the panic would just overwhelm me and who knows what would happen next.

I would have panic attacks on board and be filled with a dread that some catastrophe was just about to happen.

It took years, but thankfully, I eventually overcame my fear and anxiety while flying.

I eventually learned how to conquer my fear of flying, but it was far more difficult than it needed to be and took way too long.

As soon as the wheels would come off the ground, I could feel the chemicals surge into my brain as the fear took hold of me.
