Why so dear?
Take it as each coin has two sides, one could be dark and the other one brighter. If you have some feelings of scare, look at the brighter side also. The brighter side has more good in store. The more you will run away from fear, the more it will follow you. The moment you stand upright and firm against your fear, the fear will disappear to your pleasure. Face the realities of life and let it keep going for you as well in a normal way.
Cheer up!

I assume when you say you are homebound you mean you just aren't out traveling.
I'm not terrified to travel, more just annoyed. I weigh the hassle of air travel against how badly I want to go to wherever it is I want to go. And then see if there is another way to get there.
We have changed some plans since this last spree, but all in all we just try to keep our wits about us and do all we can to be safe.
Like the others have said, there is only so much we can control ourselves. And if you don't want to get on a plane, find some nice places in your home state to visit. Travel is a balm for the soul!

You may have a treatable anxiety disorder. There are, of course, risks to travel, but there always have been and always will be. People travel by the uncountable millions every day without incident, so your personal risk is very small. No good reason exists to be terrified of travelling, which is why I suggest you visit a mental health professional to help you understand why you feel this way and who can help you overcome those feelings. It does not mean you're crazy. It means you are a sensible person with a solvable problem.
Start with your county mental health clinic. The intake person will ask you a bit about what's troubling you so he or she can point you to the professional most likely to be able to help. And don't worry about payment - that'll be discussed during your intake interview and all such clinics have a sliding fee scale.

Nonsense! I'll bet you can name more terrorist plots that were foiled, than you can the incidents of planes brought down by terrorists. (I can think of only one - Locherby, Scotland). The incident in the UK should give you confidence; after all, they were surveiled and caught before they could pull anything off. Flying today is safer than just about any other form of travel!

Feh, I don't worry about it.
You can worry all you like, but add up all of the terror attacks over the last 10 years all around the world, and you'll still have less people than will die over the last year from heart attacks in the US alone.

There's more chance of dying in a car accident, yet people don't even think about that when they get in the car. Just carry on with your life.

Think of it this way - now is the BEST time to fly, because of all the extra safety steps.

What if there's an air-raid & god-forbid your house gets blown away?How long can you avoid travel? Get over it & get on with life. We all are gonna die sooner or later. Just pray to God to keep you safe.
