Flying.
Posted: 07-27-07 22:11pm

Okay, so I have an urge to start traveling, but I have this really big problem with flying. It's not the height, but the feeling that you have no control and that you can't just get out of the plane whenever you want to. Sort of liek clauterphobia. So I don't want statistics and things, I know how safe planes are. I just need help getting over the no control part. I can never handle it and have never actually been over an ocean... so I am freaking out big time. I am planning on going to Europe and I live in New Jersey. Any ideas on how to get over this fear?

I don't have a answere to your question, but i too am in the same situation. I have been on a plane, but it was basicly one big panic attack. I didn't get over it until i landed. I would like to travel some myself.

I feel that way in a car sometimes


even to the point where I try to "steer" in my mind

I dunno if that would help...but that helps me stay positive and basically hold onto life and Ive not been in a crash yet so fingers crossed.

I dunno, i mean i could give you countless analogies....

its like this

POINT 1 - - - - - - - - - - POINT 2

the danger inbetween is constantly varied

im not a gambler...but some risks you just have to take

this one is a free for all man! enjoy
