Re: Agoraphobic in planes
Hi again, everyone.
I’m actually leaving for the flight home in the morning. I actually pushed my trip up for numerous reasons, but today I woke up in chills. I absolutely HATE flying.
If anyone has any words of encouragement, it would really help.
Thanks so much.

Re: Agoraphobic in planes
Hey Darklantern,
I feel the same when it comes to flying. Im not scared of heights or crashing but I hate not being able to get off the plane if I want to. I spend the beginning of the flight hunched over with my head in my hands. My wife gets a pretty good kick out of it. Xanax helps a lot but I hate to take pills. A drink will also do the trick. Don't eat anything that causes your blood sugar to crash like sugar before the flight. Carry some peanut butter crackers in case it does. Everything will be fine.
Re: Agoraphobic in planes
I have a more common kind of agoraphobia, but I know being on a plane wouldn't be very comfortable for me since I'd feel out of control and unable to escape, which is partly what agoraphobia is yes. Doesn't help that there's people around probably, because you don't want to freak out and look silly.
I had a problem with planes before agoraphobia (or the kind I have now). I had a mild fear of flying but nothing much. I wouldn't want to be at home, but I would want to get out and walk around and stuff. Not such a good idea on a plane ha. And walking on a plane didn't seem like much of an alternative either.
