Hello, i have read tons of stuff on the fear of flying, listened to audio-books on the subject, visited forums and clicked many hours through the internet.
I have been flying from Europe to the US and back many times in the past 25 years. Still, I cant shake my fears.
Now, I am faced with a new situation. I will be flying from FRA to DFW in a week ALONE.... I am terrified to say the least.
I ususally fly with my husband who can control me to a certain point. Usually strangers that are seated next to me, request, before takeoff, to be reseated, because I am a mess.
On top of it all, I will be flying AA for the first time, usually I have to fly US Airways, because of our US military status.
I am thinking about taking drugs, but I am afraid to loose control... Guess i will be loosing control anways.
Do you think one of the flight attendants will sit with me during take off, since this is the most crucial time for me?
How should I handle this? Ask some stranger before boarding if she/he will hold mybhand during takeoff?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks :-)
