Hi I have been on Valium for anxiety, havent had any for 6 months, but as a short term drug to help you through, its very good. It will calm you down, but as I say only for short term use.
Hi Diana
I found writing this down really does help it sink in, and saying it to yourself whilst on the plane too.
Also, would repeat to myself, this tim tomorrow, I will be there
Good luck
Hi
I know exactly how you are feeling, you could be describing myself. I have just flown to Penang and back 13 hours each way. My thoughts were exactly like yours, what if anything happens, its not like a bus or train where you can just get off. Bu…

Hi Phil,
Thank you for replying, lot of it stems from "motion" for me, car, plane, train, due to nearly passing out when driving.
I had to move to London a few weeks ago, and would not get in the car, so I had to go on the train, whilst my partner…
Kate,
I am glad this technique works for you. But I have found the opposite helps for me. I find if I look out the window and see the ground moving below and see the wings taking the load of the plane and moving slightly and all the other perfectly…
Thank you both for your replies.
Good for you for doing it! Going to Penang is a good reason to travel, as well - beautiful place.

Well done Kate.

Meant to say also, the mind is a very powerful tool, remember you control it, it dosent control you.
Hi all
I completely understand the intense fear of flying. I have an intense fear of also being in a car, due to the fact I nearly passed out whilst driving one day. Infact I probably have an intense fear of travelling altogether, due to one incide…
Thank you Elizabeth.
Something just kicked in, a kind of numbness.
And, yes, it puts all of lifes challenging things into perspective - if I can overcome this, I can overcome anything.
HI Kate,
WELL DONE- confronting your fear ,even though it took some effort meant you achieved your goal. I bet you feel a great sense of achievement and so you should.Saying Positive things to yourself really does help, not only for flying but for a…
Hi,
If anybody had been following my posts about flying to Penang, 13 hours, I have now flown back, I just wanted to share this with everybody, it may help. I found it very hard both ways, even to the point where I was at Kuala Lumpa airport on the…
Thank you for your kind words Caro.
Yes I really want to overcome this, if I cant get to Penang - then I dont know really what will happen. Funny as where I live is in the Gatwick flight path, so I am watching the planes going over every 5 mins - j…

- Hello Kate... a warm welcome to you...even though you've had all those posts!!
Thanks for joining the network and I hope you’ll find it useful. Our aim is to give help support and encouragement to anyone who has a fear of flying. If you want to tell us your story please do so, if you prefer to just observe and pick up hints and tips from people then that’s fine too. We want you to use the network in the way that’s best for you.
I’m here to answer any of your questions and I‘ll try to do so as quickly as I can although sometimes I get a bit busy and miss some posts. Just keep pestering me and I’ll answer you.
If you think there’s something we should add to the network, let me know and I’ll see if we can incorporate it.
Finally an apology for this slightly less than personal welcome...as you can imagine keeping up with things is very time consuming and there are many calls on my time...but rather than not acknowledge your joining I thought this pre-recorded message would be slightly better!
And finally finally to those of you who joined ages ago and who I missed welcoming on the day you signed up a special apology.
I look forward to meeting you through the network. There is a chat facility which I keep open whenever I’m on line so just click the button and you can IM me.
