I've heard there are medications you can take for flying like dramamine or something. I used to just smoke a lot of weed before going to the airport and maybe have a beer on the plane. Seemed to at least calm the nerves a little bit. For me, I hate the landing more than any other part of flying. I can always feel the plane wobble and I always fear one of the wings will scrape the runway as soon as the landing gears hit. lol

I get anxious with flying when the plane gets hit by extreme turbulence. I don't have an issue with take off or landing, I sort of enjoy those parts of it. But during turbulence I freak out because I've watched so much Air Crash Investigations that I think the plane is about to crash when that happens and I start praying for the end to come.

Oh, definitely. It's a common anxiety response. I've even gotten it on large Ferris wheels, especially when it stops to let other people on & off and I'm stuck at the top. My dad always got claustrophobic in elevators.

The funny thing with me is, I always love flying once I get over that initial fear. Sitting by the window actually helps me, because it's the "trapped" feeling more than the flying part that makes me nervous.
