Terrified
I’m going away this weekend for a short trip to Florida. My brother and sister convinced me to go see a Yankee’s spring training game. I’m very excited to spend the weekend with them and look forward to a game in the sun.
But I’m terrified of flying. I feel like crying every minute. I know I’ll enjoy the time I’m there but will also be worried about the flight back. I just want to be home safe and sound.
I’ve flown tons in my life, probably close to a hundred times, but almost two years ago I could no longer stand the thought of it. I even had to take a train to California for my business trip.
I figured this trip would be a good way to get me back on the saddle because it’s not as long of a flight and I’ll be with my sister. But right now I wish I never agreed to it. I’m so unhappy that I’m so torn. And now I’m totally bawling my eyes out.

You'll do just fine, just remember to breathe. I got over my fear of flying by falling in love with an Englishman and having to fly across the ocean every other month. You can do. Yankee's train here in Tampa and our weather has been glorious! You'll have a great time!
Fear of flying ... I've only done it twice and have that fear, too but if you've done it around 100 times, just remember you've always gotten through it! Hope all goes well, have a wonderful time on your trip.
Put on your i-pod with calming, meditative music and close your eyes. I am not a flying fan either and it seems to be the only thing to get me over that anxiousness...Have fun. Really. Think of your destination -- Although - YANKEES? That for me would be like getting a tooth pulled! GO RED SOX!
The ipod suggestion is a great one. I have a nano and put a movie on it. That helps a ton. You actually get involved with the movie and you're not interrupted by anyone.
Good luck. Have a GREAT time!

Oh crap. You've been doing so well, maybe you should rethink this plan? I say that especially because you may not be able to enjoy the short time you have there if you're worrying about the flight home. Just a thought....
