I have had panic attacks/phobias of planes for years. First I didn't fly at all, then finally, after both hypnosis and meds (Xanax) I do fly on occasion now, although still terrified. There is a trip that i have saved up for that is the longest plane flight I've taken so far, 10-12 hours, and my friend recently told me she would be unable to go. I have two huge fears about this now solo trip: first, I can distract myself for short periods of time but how for that long? (Sleep isn't an option) the second and more pressung concern is that there will be a stop over, and normally I am somewhat out of it/groggy (from the meds) and I let my flight companion lead and just follow them. I will be unable to this time and am terrified of telling the flight attendants this and possibly not being allowed on the second plane. I am getting more and more nervous about these two things and thought I would see if anyone has any possible solutions, thanks.
