Answer 1

It sounds like you are developing a phobia (an irrational fear). This is not uncommon, and is very treatable. I would encourage you to see a professional therapist, preferably one who specializes in the treatment of phobia.

Answer 2

The thing is finding something to take your mind off your fears. Some people find listening to music or reading a book helps forget the fears, I never liked flying so whenever had to fly would do simple mathematical problems or talk to the person setting nearest me to take mind off flight.
Whatever helps more power to you and good luck finding it.

Answer 3

You should see your doctor. If relaxation techniques arent cutting it for you your doctor could prescribe somthing to take to calm your nerves when flying. I have a close family member with same problem and the medication helped them alot.

Answer 4

You know? you shouldn't be scared riding on a plain or a car, you just actually have to relax, I felt the same way about riding on a plain, but i just got over it by doing something that keeps my mind to thinking that I'm on a plain, but you know you can't do that when your driving, I think what you should do when your driving is just relax, and just know that your going to get where you want to get to, sooooooooooo like I said RELAX, and you'll get over it soon enought, alright? thanks

Answer 5

If you are going to die you are going to die and there's nothing you can do about it so why worry about it?
