As I'm driving home yesterday I notice an airplane in the sky flying pretty low. This is normal occurence since I live near Barksdale AFB and planes in the sky are no biggy... it's not like I haven't seen it a hundred times before.
But as I got closer and closer I realized something harsh.... I will never ever go anywhere that requires me to fly... I have an insane fear of airplanes. The closer I got the more I started to panic until I was in a full blown anxiety attack. I just kept thinking that what if this plane crashes? What am I going to do?? I can't handle stress like that?? What happens if I choose to fly and my plane crashes???
Okay and if that's not weird enough, my fear of helicopters is even worse!!! I freak if I even hear the noise of a helicopter. I can't stand to look at them which is why I'm not even posting a picture of one.
I know, this is beyond therapy and of course is contributed to some deep rooted issue. But dang, I can't even drive home and look in the sky without having a panic attack. And of course, my dreams of traveling exotic places is gone down the drain since not all the valium and xanax in the world can get me on a plane!
Any suggestions?

Plain and simple..." Your effed". Have a fun time in the continetal U.S.A......LOL!
You will probably end up in 10 bad ass car wrecks before you were involved in an airplane crash.
When I fly I just look forward to where I am going, and take me a nap. And as morbid as this sounds...I figure if its my time to go, its my time to go and that will be part of my life story. Although that would be a sucky ending.
I dont really have a solution to your fear of riding inside flying objects (Oh dear, what if you got abducted by a UFO?), however I am deathly afraid of catapillars. I hate them, loathe them, almost fainted and barfed last time I saw one. the worst are either migrating webworms or those huge tobacco worms. The only thing that will cure my fear is total anhialation of caterpillars!
