to fly. I find it all so completely out of my control. And do you know how much planes weigh? Really? really?



What terrifies you? Do you avoid it at all costs or do you push yourself through it? More than 24837834972 people have suggested wine makes flying tolerable but I can't drink wine and hold the plane up in the air at the same time. What do you do to get past your fear?

Put it to the back of your mind. M and I travel often these days and this increases our risk of being part of the "one in a million". We both believe in the principle of "a time to die", and the trip to and from the airport is statistically more dangerous.

I stay on the ground! I'm afraid of heights over 2 stories.to the point of passing out. All tho it does not bother me to bad to fly I guess its being inside a tin can.But get me up on the space needle in San Antoine and you will carry me back down.

Phobias are a common phenomenon. Some are more easily managed than others. Only infrequently does one become debilitating.

Patience, we are taught, is a virtue.

Take heart. They now provide you with free groping at the airport while taking pictures of your private parts. Where else can you have such fun?

Heights are what make my stomach turn. Funny, never felt that way as a kid ... and even now, looking out the window of a tall building doesn't bother me ... but put me out where I'm actually looking down . Excuse me, I'll back up.

I can't class it as "terrified" but I get very uncomfortable with open water. I know a number of people that get sick when they pump up the barber chair, but I'm not one of those. Open water is what makes me uneasy now and that's not right for someone who lives on the shore of the Great Lakes. I don't like flying over it and sure don't enjoy "boating" on anything but a river. What is odd is I swim well, was a certified scuba diver at one point, did white-water canoeing for many years. I just know now I couldn't swim any distance today.
