Situation: I am not scared of terrorists, 9/11 has nothing to do with my fear...
I have flown on planes before... scared to death. I have refused to fly for a long time. The problem is I'm only 25 and it is keeping me from doing all kinds of things I want to do. My little sis (19) is now moving to North Carolina where her husband is stationed (I live in NV)... She is begging me to go with her and I am scared to death. Last time I flew, I was on medication, which didn't work... and I burst into tears on take off (so embarrassing)...
I think I am afraid of not being in control.
I KNOW the statistics... I am very aware that you are SOOOOO much more likely to die in a car crash
and people also say, if you believe in God... he has a plan and you will die that day no matter how it happens....
neither of those make me feel better.
does anyone have any suggestions that they know of, that worked for them or helped someone else?
I NEED to get over this!!! :)

We all take risk every day that pertain to life and death. Flying has less risk then driving down the road in an automobile. Does that mean you will stop driving down the road? You can either stop flying and lose a part of your life you wish you could hang onto or you can face your fear and learn to fly. Try getting some expert counseling for a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Fear is not something we can't get past, however when we live in fear we usually lose our self in our fears.

Pray and drink....Or take a pill to calm you down. I wouldn't want to have to fly. I would talk to my Doctor and maybe he would give you something for the trip

drink, drink, drink and/or try a different med. otherwise, really give yourself over to a higher power and realize when it is your time to go it is your time to go, doesn't matter if you are in a car, plane, train, or hot air balloon.

There is nothing to fear but fear itself.
That said, don't do anything stupid like parasailing or cliff-diving.
