I'm sorry, I am never this big a freaking baby, but I hate flying, it scares me to death. I'm going to San Fran and I want to see my bro, but this shit really gets to me. It's just never been this bad before, my fear of flying. Hoka-freaking-hey. :scared:

2. Sweetie, I get the exact same way about flying... |
|
I wish I could sit beside you and hold your hand...
Think of this... Even with my HUGH!11!!!1 fear of flying I have managed the flight from MI to CA a few times...
Have you thought about calling your Dr. for something to help you calm down. My cousin does this for his flights home from Belgium.
I am a big baby about flying and I always worry about my family when they fly. MrG had to fly on 9/11 and I was a nervous wreck. If it helps, I'll be thinking of you baby girl. :hug: :hug: :hug: Holding you close...

17. That is a very REAL fear though. I don't think you are a drama queen |
|
at all. It never bothered me until I had children. I don't know why I freak out so much now, but I do. :hug: :loveya:
Remember that episode on Cheers, or was it Frasier, when Frasier did the fear of flying class? I think of that episode every time I fly. :D

Thank you for that. The apricot brandy is working thus far, but I predict some sort of sweat-fest when I actually take off. Or when the plane takes off, not sure which. :hug:

20. Oh honey, the first time I flew after 9/11 |
|
was with my then 15 month old, on a commuter flight in the middle of the day. So I was nervous anyhow, and then all these businessmen were glaring at me for bringing a baby on their flight. And then after he was a perfect angel the entire time, one of them tried to hit on me. grrr
Anyhow, you will have a completely uneventful flight. I'm sure of it. :hug:

You'll have to promise to buy a drink for me so I don't cry too.
You'll be OK but I feel your pain. Where do I meet you for this flight? :):hug:

:hug: :hug: :pals: If I could, I would. Hubby's scared to death of flying too, and what helps him is lots of Dramamine. I don't know if that works for you, but he swears by it. :)
I know your flight will be uneventful, and you'll love seeing your brother. :D :bounce: :toast: Let us know when you get there!!!

It will be so worth it to see your brother.
The first time I flew, I was terrified, so I took a Gravol. Fell asleep in Toronto, woke up in Amsterdam. Perfect. :-)

It'll be fine Sugar. Next time you should get some xanax from your doctor. That'll definitely help out.

27. Same here. I HATE flying!!! Everyone always says |

"just take some Dramamine, you'll be fine" and I'm like, "I don't get sick, I get TERRIFIED!!! Also, I'm married to a gal from Switzerland, and the plane ride is about 11 hours total from Minneapolis. We're going again around Christmastime, and I'm already nervous. :scared:
