I fly a few times a year, but very am extremely anxious about it. EVERY little bump or noise makes me jump, grab the armrest, or the arm of my family member. Last flight was bumpy; they never turned off the no seat belt sign, I actually cried I was so scared. And this was after taking half of .25 of prescribed anxiety meds which I take when I fly. I watch Netflix on my phone to pass the time, usually 2.5-3 hours.
My BFFs husband purchased a ticket for me to visit them for BFFs 50th birthday party next weekend. I am looking forward to seeing everyone but the thought of flying alone makes me want to throw up.
I have to change planes at EWR on the way and IAD on the way home two days later. Renting a car so I need to stay sober.
Two of the flights are small ERJ planes ... I get a window and an aisle seat!
I know logically and statistically I'm safer in the air but that doesn't help. My fear started after 9/11.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
