You don’t have to feel silly to admit that you have a fear of flying. Statistics show that this is a common phobia among the modern world. What should separate you from the rest is that you are able to realize your fear and as a result, use all of your energy to neutralize it from existence.
If your mind can’t focus on the fear of flying, or your environment, there is no reason to have an anxiety attack. After all, you wouldn’t have an anxiety attack of flying while sitting at home. Following this method of thinking, you could try to keep your mind preoccupied so you won’t have time to realize your surroundings. It may take some growing accustomed to, since you could be too panicked at first to focus on a book or movie.
You may be under the mindset that you have to prepare for the panic of a flight before the flight itself. That isn’t true, since jet charter employees are trained in helping passengers that have a phobia of flying. They can provide you with comfort items, such as a pillow or refreshment, or help you through relaxation techniques. Don’t forget their help, and certainly don’t feel like you don’t have help at your disposal.
If you are aware that you have a problem before the flight, and have ample time, it is recommended you find professional help for the situation. It may seem silly to justify going to a doctor for a problem of fear, but an anxiety attack can have serious side effects in some cases. At high altitudes, there is no telling what could happen if you were to need emergency assistance in the event of a panic attack.
Relaxing is, to no surprise, easily done by eating food. The only problem is that eating food while you are under high anxiety just doesn’t work too well, thanks to the feeling of being sick to your stomach. Plan ahead in advance and eat a good dinner and breakfast before the flight. Also carry a small granola bar as a snack to keep your nutrition running high, and your anxiety kept as low as possible.
Fear can be said to be a lack of understanding in many cases. A fear of elevators can be solved by seeing how safe they really are. Airplanes are the same way- they are actually very safe structures piloted by disciplined individuals. Find reading material about private jets, their crews, and the technology behind them to keep any fears in check.
In Conclusion
Any phobia can be cured with time. That should give you hope to get the help you need to render your fear of flying a thing of the past- and certainly not a problem of the present.
