Hi...Kiora:)
I have just stumbled across this site even though I have struggled with panic/anxiety/agrophobia for what seems like a life time. I have hit rock bottom and over a long period of time I have crawled my way back and I am now living a happy life....I have overcome almost all my anxieties, all except the one situation that triggered my first overwhelming panic attack. It was on a short flight, and ironically I had a passion for flying prior to this experience. But the severity of this first panic chipped away at me until my whole life was but a speck of what it had been.
That was 25 years ago! Since then, I have created a new life for myself, re trained and am enjoying the rewards of a challenging career.
BUT...I have to get on a plane again. I have to fly to my daughter's graduation....I am so frightened everything I have worked so hard to overcome will crumble down.... I am scared of going back to being house bound. i am scared i won't be able to fly home again....HELP?
