as a kid and early teen, i flew a lot and had no issues. i was never scared until maybe age 13 or 14. i remember hearing about a plane crash (maybe twa 800?) and i began thinking what it must have been like on that plane, or any plane crash.

now i have mini panic attacks when i have to fly (which i hate, because i LOVE to travel), and am nervous for loved ones to fly. even though logically know that the chances of anything happening are sooo minute, and that air travel is safer than car travel, it still freaks me out.

i tend to be against the quick jump to meds that doctors seem to do these days, but i would definitely consider an anti-anxiety pill if it would help me calm down.

this spring i plan to look into it! good luck everyone.
