Scared of flying! Help!?

Question

I recently started a new job at a phenomenal company and they already need me to go fly somewhere. I am terrified of flying. Not because of heights or anything, but not being in control and the chance of something going wrong. What do I do to get over this fear? I don't want it to ruin my career.

Answer 1

Make an appointment with your doctor. Explain your fears and he/she may be able to prescribe a mild anxiety medication. I feel this would be your best option, Good luck.

Answer 2

okay so here's what you do . go to your local drug store and buy some dramamine. take as directed and you'll be fine . if you're flying at night it'll be easy to sleep anyway  

Answer 3

i was soooo scared when i first flew! u can try sleeping if u can, watching tv, listening to music, reading a book, drawing, doing an activity book, doing paperwork, or anything that you like that will take your mind of the plane and de-stress u!!! pack your self some snacks in case u dont like what they have! ANOTHER great tip : keep your window shade shut until your at maximum altitude and then open it then when you start decreasing close the shade again! also bring ear plugs in case your ears are sensitive bring them just in case!! do not i repeat do not think about just touching the ground again that will subconsciously make u more nervous! dont even think ur on the plane! good luck these are great tips to follow!!!
