Crew timings and what they do seems to vary from flight to flight - expecting it to be the same risks causing anxiety where none is needed.
I would suggest (almost mandate) the BA Fear of Flying course which is fantastic and far more useful than constantly waiting for the crew to do what you think they should do next - breaking the flight down into anxious wait after anxious wait, an ironically waiting for something that will have nothing to do with the safety of the flight !
Happy to share anything by PM as someone who has gone from fear of flying to hundreds of thousands of miles a year

Nice to hear of another FTer who was terrified, I have only been flying about 5 years having previously been terrified of flying, well not so much flying as crashing.
I was then forced to fly by work, I found the best cure was the second flight I ever took LHR - NRT, I found I couldn't be terrified for 12h solid. There are however still some aspects of flying that I am not so keen on.
