Im fearful about flight travels. When the flight takes off I shiver and close my eyes and its black then.?

Question

But when the flight reaches its altitude I'm normal. Same problem while landing also. Also I'm fearful about rollercoaster rides etc. I've a deviated nasal septum but thats minor issue as per the ENT. Anyone has any idea?

Answer 1

you could just be afraid of heights. u feel the plain take off your brain subconsciously know ur goin high. once ur up its smooth as if u u were in a car. ur brain has calmed down. same w/ goin down. the bumpy ride is a trigger of ur hieght fear. but u might also hav a bad case of motion sick ness. the bumpyness of takin off and landin. good luck! -Kay

Answer 2

you need to chew gum during the begining of the flight. when it starts to take off, clench down on the gum. when the ride smooths out, chew it and relax. when its about to land, do the same. for roller coasters you can just freak out, so many people do. same with flying :] .just repeat in your head "im safe, hundred of thousands of people do this every day and they leave, without a scratch on them." you'll be fine. just remember that your safe. hope i helped and good luck!
