Controlling Feelings Of Fear When Flying

High anxiety and panic when flying is due to stress hormones released when imagining "what if the wings fall off, what if the engines quit, what if the pilot loses control,etc." Each "what if" triggers a stress hormone release. Several "what ifs" trigger several stress hormone releases, resulting in uncontrollable feelings. But there is a way - if preparation is done before taking a flight - to control your feelings.

@thunderinthevalley Long distance relationships almost never work under the best of circumstances. Can you drive or is it overseas? Maybe you'll get so used to flying, you'll start to deal with it better. At any rate, best of luck.
