I'm very scared!?

Question

I have to go on a plane ride from Illinois to Florida. Its only a 2 1/2 hour plane ride, but I'm still nervous. I've flown many times, but for some reason I keep getting more and more nervouse. There's about eight people in my family who are going. We're going in about a month. But its all I can think about. I feel like I'm gonna throw up. I know that the chances of getting into a plane crash is low, but still, I'm very afraid. I'm only 15, so I can't get drunk or anything. But I need help. I don't know what to do. I'm sooooo scared.

Answer 1

since you have some family members onboard with u  just have a conversation with them that will take your mind off flying or listen to some music or text your friends and the next thing you know you have all ready landed

Answer 2

Ask your parents about bringing you to the doc ... there are tons of anti-anxiety drugs that can help.

I am scared of flying, too.

The following helps me ...

Breath in through your nose for 6 seconds ... hold your breath for six seconds, and then release for 6 seconds ... repeat about 5 times.

Then breath in 3 secs and out 3 secs for about 5 times.

This is a common therapy for people with panic disorder and it helps.

You will feel better by the second 6sec breath.

Try it now, it will make you relaxed.

Answer 3

pop about 6 benedryl about 30 minutes before you are set board your flight and yu will be out. no need to be scared when your are sleep lol.

Answer 4

Wow, uhm,

well I don't know but this is really random, okay, but donkeys kill more people annually than airplane crashes.

And donkeys aren't that aggressive :/

Plus they're small.

So, don't get a donkey.

Have fun!

Just relax and enjoy yourself.  ( Bring gum or candy because your ears might make popping sounds ) especially during landing and takeoff

Answer 7

It's been proven air travel is much safer than other modes of travel. I'm well traveled as well, at one time I was a frequent flier on three airlines, and for some reason I'd get the same feeling you are describing.

Try to think of pleasant things, good luck !

Answer 8

I've flown military aircraft for 25 years, I am more scared about the trip to the airfield. The highway with all the fools on it is far more dangerous than the air.

Answer 9

Please tell the flight attendants that you think you may throw up!  They can help you, and will want to prepare for this possibility.  I would also try the Dramamine.  Just relax.  Perhaps you need to take a class on fearful flying, or maybe see a counselor.  Ask your school counselor if you go to school.  Good luck.
