Any pilots out there? Any recs for an irrational fear of flying? I love to travel, but get severe anxiety from the night before, until the plane lands.
It looks like we may be taking off in a storm from NYC tomorrow AM which is making me more nervous.
Encouraging words or tactics to decrease anxiety are appreciated.
Should I be more worried about potentially taking off in a storm?
Are you scared of dying?
I can assure you, a plane crash is a quick way to go. What’s the worst thing that can happen? You crash and die.
It’s suffering to fear, not death.
You didn't die the other times 👍
No sweat Bryan

This is amazing!
Your more apt to have a problem driving to the airport then flying…….
I am not a fan of flying either and I just try to sleep on flights even during the day……../
More dangerous to ride in the car to the airport by an order of fucking magnitude
Hi! Not a pilot but an anxiety with legs 😹
When I have an attack I turn off my phone (don’t know why), and I meditate.
Sometimes is easy to stop thinking, and that’s it…
When you can’t get out of a thought, another way of meditation is to repeat nonsense like “ohmmmm ohmmmm ohmmmm”. Sound stupid but really works.
Last but not least, you can sing to yourself.
I hope you have a great flight ✈️

A family member of a friend had a serious fear of flying. They read some book by a pilot and they have been fine ever since. I can try to find out the name of the book.
