Overcoming fear of flying and avoiding panic attacks while in the air?
I am very afraid of flying, and am currently being treated for genaralized anxiety disorder. Does anyone in a similar situation have tips for avoiding having anxiety and panic symptoms while flying?
YOU NEED TO SEEK OUT A SPECIALIST TO OVERCOME A SEVERE PHOBIA. IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO GET ON A PLANE, AND YOU KNOW YOU DON’T BE DISRUPTIVE IN THE AIRPORT ASK YOUR DR, TO PRESCRIBE A COUPLE OF TRANQUILIZERS.TAKE A PRESCRIBED DOSE 20 MINUTES BEFORE YOU HAVE TO BOARD THE PLANE.

A mild tranquilizer will really help. See your doctor. Ask about clonopin or something like that. Don’t use street pills. Make sure the doctor agrees. But it will really help

I used to have a lot of panic attacks about different things, one of which was flying. It is like a lot of other things, if you make yourself do it and keep doing it, that will help. I took medication for it and it did not solve the problem. I did find though that part of what was causing the panic attacks in the first place was the fact that I was unhappy in a relationship I was in and didn’t have the nerve to get out of it. Once out of it, the panic attacks decreased and now I only have mild apprehension once in a while. Good luck!!!
