Ok , I have to fly tomorrow , and I hate it ....
I am terrified of flying , every nudge and shake send my mind racing "we are going to crash ! ".

I am thinking of staying up all night so that I can sleep it of , if I can.

damn ,damn damn... why did they ever invent flying...


The problem is I am traveling for a job interview , if I ask for a train ticket they'd simplify tell me to forget about the position.

1. I am not a huge fan of flying. It will be okay!
Planes are supposed to be a little bumpy. Good luck, you'll be okay!

4. Honey, I know. People have called me "Mr. T" before.
I haven't seen much of that show, but apparently the man needs someone to punch him out if he has to go on a plane. I used to fly all the time, but I had the fear very suddenly.

You're going to be just fine, my dear. :) They start making coffee almost immediately, and the smell is reassuring. I know it's easy for me to say right now, but it will be OK. Just watch how routinely planes take off and land. That's also reassuring.

5. I personally dont mind flying.
All you have to do is bring a laptop (or portable DVD player) and some DVDs to pass the time while you fly. It's much better than the shitty in flight program they have.

6. A doctor can give you something for that.
I'm not nearly as bad as you describe, but I still don't like it.

I got a couple of anti-anxiety pills and the trip was a breeze.

7. It's really going to be okay.
I went through a patch with that. Somehow, I got through it, and I don't mind flying at all. Just think of a boat riding the waves when you feel turbulence. It helps.:hug:

8. Well, if you are on the Atlanta to LAX flight tomorrow evening...
Let me know, and I'll do what I can to help. That's my flight.
