Thanks so much this really helped me, I’m flying tomorrow and have been really anxious this video has helped me realise it’s anxiety taking over again

[ildododa]

I’m scared that I’m gonna be on the plane and I’m gonna have a panic attack and I’m not gonna control it and I’m gonna start acting weird like I wanna get out of the plane and it makes me so scared to book a ticket

I have to fly next week. I never had flying anxiety before I have flown many times even by myself. But after some life events I feel anxious about everything. I would say NO but I want to go so I can say goodbye to my nan. I will take all these tips. I’m not scared of crashing it’s more the fear of panic. I feel like I may faint sometimes. I might screen record this to watch on the flight Thankyou 🙌🏻

I used to love travelling, never fear anything when I’m flying, always have exciting feel on the plane, not until 6 months ago, when I can feel my anxiety coming up to surface suddenly when the plane door are close and ready to take off, I doing affirmation thought myself to calm my self down and it did works, feel absolutely fine afterwards, but that’s feels makes me trauma, I have to get on the plane again to another trip. because of the scenes that i experienced I feel nervous and anxious worried how if my anxiety coming back again. In my Holliday, i decided to do hypnotherapy for my next flight, and it did work. But now, I think I need to regularly seeing my hypnotherapist before I travelling with flight. Lol 😅 I have to beat my anxiety and keep seeing different world.

As an avid aviation enthusiast I enjoyed flying until 2014 when MH17 was shot down that shocked me because it was a reminder that no matter what altitude danger is everywhere. Then an opera singer I personally knew died in Germanwings pilot suicide event. Then a pilot who once flew me died in Iran UA flight 752. I don’t personally know a single person who died in a car crash but I know 2 people who perished in aviation incident. Then we have current mainteance personell crisis and quality issues due to manufacturers chase for profit. And now emerging details that MH370 was also a pilot suicide. I am not afraid of the flying itself but I am very afraid of human factor that may lead to a crash. I still do fly once a year and therapy helped me to behave calm once mid air but after my last uneventful 5 hour flight to Portugal i got off the plane and slept for 36 hours because I felt emotionally exhausted and traumatised. Flying is not for everyone.

Thanks man! Tips, don't avoid what you fear, what's the point of fearing if you're not living my guy

I was never afraid of flight and actually used to kinda like turbulence in a weird way. Once during bad turbulence the plane fell in the air some feet and everyone screamed. The fall actually worked out because we got out of the tunnel of air causing the turbulence and the rest of the flight was very smooth but I was on high alert the rest of the flight and from every flight from then on. 😭

[kxittes-lhhk]

I don’t have a fear a flying, I just get bored as there’s nothing to do and I get really upset .

[sickowawawa]

my actual number1 reason why im scared of flight is if the pilot or pilots are suicidal and me watching hours true crime documentary about it doesnt help either 😂💀
