I can't help but get very anxious about flying. When I was 15 I was pretty much terrified of flying but a trip to the US and Australia (I live in the UK) pretty much killed any anxiety I had.
About a year ago I went to Toronto with my sister. I was there for four days and I couldn't get the flight home out of my head. I kept worrying about whether the plane was going to fall out of the sky or disintegrate or something. It kind of ruined the holiday which is a bummer.
At the end of this month I'm flying to Chicago. I've been on much longer flights (21 hours), and I know exactly what to expect flight wise (flown through hurricanes, experienced aborted/emergency landings), but I'm getting anxious about it.
I HATE feeling like this because I thought I was over it. Doe anyone have any advice so that I can stop thinking about and ultimately worrying about the flights? Thanks.
