Fear of flying ....new treatment for me

[Cochise]

Maybe if you do have an "episode" on part of the flight think back to this thread and say "UKDEB" said that might happen or Cochise said that would happen. Effectively you are turning something that suprises and shocks to something that you expected?

Just wanted to wish you the best of luck, Vicki. I am a nervous flyer too, and take diazepam for long flights. I do find this helps and if you have a little drink too, you do feel very sleepy. I like the way it makes me feel more in control. The only reason I fly is because I know the end result is so worth it. You will have a truly magical time, keep thinking on the plane of all the wonderful things you will be doing in just a few hours time. Sending you and

I saw a programme on TV last year where they suggested that you tug at your ear lobe and think of something really nice, like your wedding day or your first walk down main street. It seemed to work for me last October as it was the first time I managed to watch a film on the flight.

Good luck

Thanks for all the avice. I'm now packed and about to have my final sleep before getting up at 5am tomorrow.

Even though I have taken some medication the panic is rising and I can't believe I'm flying again. I'm trying to play it cool in front of the children though inside I'm all

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this time tomorrow when we will be landing.

Big hugs to all !
Vicki

Good luck Vicki!!! Will be thinking of you. Keep your cool and keep thinking about Mickey on the other side of the Atlantic. Tell your DH to hold your hand and give you a hug whenever you need it. Have a "magical" time at Disney and don't forget to report when you're back!

Just to let you all know I made it. I did cry three times but managed the flight. Not saying I enjoyed it though.
