[quote=Anonymous]I refuse to let my irrational fear stop me. The more I travel, the easier it gets. I have to travel for work, so that forces me to confront my fear on a pretty regular basis. I have a few things that help me personally. I like the middle seat. I know it sounds weird, but having a human next to me on both sides is comforting. I like watching the flight attendant. I like having a bottle of water and a bag of gummy bears. I listen to the same album, my favorite one, every flight. I have a magazine and a book in case I get antsy. I have a few mindless games downloaded. I lift my feet before take off and close my eyes. I only open them when we reach cruising altitude. I always leave notes at home (just in case). These rituals help me deal with the anxiety. Find the rituals that help you. No judgment if alcohol or drugs are part of your ritual, but I have found a way to manage my stress without them. [/quote]
