I am terrified of flying...Well many things...I have hated air planes since I was very young and my first plane ride was actually 3 days after I was born...Supposedly. My family and I are going to visit family in italy in 2 days!!! So please help me out and give me some tips on flying or just I dont know, help me out! I'm so afraid, I haven't been on a plane since right before 9/11 and now this whole plane from athens crash thing b/c of an oxygen problem or something like that, i'm just stressing about everything and I know if I step onto a plane I am going to have an anxiety attack, or maybe more than one...Maybe even a seizure...So please, please help me...

Just tell yourself this.

You'll be safer flying to italy than you will be during the car ride to the airport. I say that not to get you worried about getting in a car, but to realize that the plane is safer than your car. And I trust you have had plenty of experiences in a car and know accidents can happen anytime. Again, i'm not trying to scare you, just give you the comparison :-)
