'I am not alone'Query: "I would just like to say that one paragraph of the little you wrote on flying has made me feel so much better....knowing I am not odd or alone. It described me perfectly. I was a seasoned traveller, had a terrifying panic attack on a plane last year, and am now terrified to get on the plane next week.... However, your description has made me feel normal, and made me realise.. If I get on the plane calm and relaxed next week....I should be fine!! Thanks a lot.. I no longer feel like an oddity.... Answer: Thanks for the nice comments. A suggestion... Deal with the panic habit first. The flying phobia may well be the result of the panic - which in turn, generally results from a period of sustained stress or anxiety or lifestyle disruption. we have a whole section on this website devoted to information about panic attacks and the various ways of dealing with them. Check out our Fear of Flying Section, too. Important: please read our caution regarding all health-related advice.
