developed a fear of flying

[elgrande]

Hi all

I've been suffering from anxiety for the best part of 10 years now. Before it started I used to love travelling and the excitement of flying to new places. Since then I really really struggle with flying as the confinement makes me feel very anxious. My mind races with negative thoughts although these tend not to be on any safety issues just the fact that once the plane takes off I'm effectively trapped! Its irrational and frustrating however it has also meant that I've not flown now since 2001. Anyone else found that their anxiety has given them this problem?

Thanks
