My husband is afraid to fly. He even saw a psychologist for it, who said that a lot of people who are afraid to fly have a problem with take-offs but nothing else.


It's true. By the time we're cruising at reached altitude, I'm OK. I almost forget we're up in the air LOL

I actually love the feeling of takeoff and landing. I guess I'm the odd one out, I really enjoy and look forward to flying!


I used to feel this way to..
for some reason though after I got married, I slowly developed a greater fear of flying....and then after I was on a flight alone with bad turbulencei was so freaked out thinking how the plane would crash and if I would have time to call dh to tell him I love him (im crazy - I know), so now I REALLY hate it. I cant stand take off - and turbulence.

something that seemed to help a little though is a blog my friend told me about. its by southwest airlines and its pilots writing about their thoughts...and sometimes writing about flying too - so you get to see what theyre thinking "behind the wheel" which makes it more reassuring that they actually do have some control

the link is:

Horse and buggy? I wish! I don't travel too much and when I do I usaually go by train or bus. Now I have to see somebody in Monsey after Pesach and I'm worrying my head off how to get there. Dh will probably want to rent a car (right now he doesn't have a car) and drive me. I'm thinking of taking the bus and he could come by car. Yeah, I know, I'm crazy!

Darling, You are NOT crazy. You just have a Fear of something that you have to work on.

Anyway I Hate flying. I am petrified. I certainly like the landing part best, cause that means we're arriving Smile . But I haven't flown in years. I always wonder if I'll receive a free ticket or win the Oorah auction to Israel what I'll do.
