How to get over my fear of flying
How I did it: There were just circumstances that required me to fly. To go home for the holidays, it was more economical to take a short plane ride. I wanted to do study abroad and there's no way to do that except by boarding a plane. It's not so bad if you try not to panic and think of the end result. Dramamine also was a HUGE help. I originally bought it on the return trip from Dallas to Detroit since I got so nauseous on the original trip. it also has a nice, pleasant sedative that really just knocks you on your ass so you can relax and be sleepy and not worry.
Lessons & tips: Sedation. Meditation. Distraction. Support. It alway helped me to look to the flight crew to get me through turbulence. If they were calm, I was calm. These people fly for a living so if they're not panicking, I'm not panicking.
