feeling ill when away and anxious over flying

[pepsi]

Hi all my anxiety is making my hands and body twitch ...somedays worse than others ....im due 2 fly 2 Majorca in 2 weeks last year i was so relueved i wasnt going abroad all ready i know the morning i have to go i will be feeling sick with anxiety and the whole flying thing really pushes my anxiety to the nxt level. I hate that what should be a relaxing week in the sun fuels so much unwell feeling when im away from my house and surroundings ...should i go to the drs for help or kust sit through a horrible feeling for a week ?

A large proportion of the population are anxious flyers.
I am one of those.
I know medication is probably not the ultimate answer, but it works for me.
I take 15mg of diazepam and I can fly without a care in the world.
Other than that, you could try a fearful flyer course, or Capt Tim Bunn's SOAR program and website is absolutely invaluable. You can even get help up to an hour before your flight. He is wonderful.

Thankyou so much for your valuable advice. I think i will go to the drs too. I was unsure he would give me anything.
