Has anybody had a panic attack on the plane?

[star68]

Hi, I am flying this week, I am terrified of flying but I always managed to control my anxiety. The worse for me is when they have turbulence I tend to panic and I get very scared. My biggest fear is to have a panic attack in the plane. Have you ever experienced that? And how did you deal with it? Did you tell anybody?
If somebody have experienced it maybe they can explain and calm my fears.

Thank you

Maybe look at the advice you've been given on the two other threads you started about exactly the same thing.

Yes I’ve had panic attacks on a plane, a transatlantic flight! The stewards let me sit in one of their seats away from people and got me a drink of water. They are trained to help and they were all brilliant with me, they suggested a better seat for me for the return flight which I took the advice on and it was indeed much better. Although turbulence doesn’t bother me at all.

Positive vibes,

Hi, I only had one reply in one forum the GAD, and person kindly replied in this panic attacks Forum. The question is repeated in two forums but the question in the GAD Forum is different. I wanted as many replies as possible to share the experiences, I can't see any problem with that.

Thank you so much for the information. I never knew how they deal with it when you are in the plane, so your answer was very helpful.
