Hi ATRL,

In the morning I'm flying to Mexico! I'm really excited. However planes TERRIFY me and my heart has been racing all evening thinking about it. I know it won't be THAT bad but I can't help it.

The doctor prescribed me Xanax so I will be taking .5mg of that. I've never flown with that in my system but I hope it helps.

Anyways I wanted to hear some words of encouragement and insight so I and anyone else with fears of flying can feel better.

I'm sure we would love to hear your positive flying experiences

Omg don't get addicted to Xanax is all I'm saying

Take a Xanax, pop your headphones in and fall asleep

I love flying, driving is so overrated tbh.

It's really not bad. If anything, take off might startle you, but that only lasts for a brief moment.

Flying is amazing. Put on some music or maybe a movie and you'll forget that you are thousands of feet in the air. Or just go to sleep. My longest flight ever was from Atlanta to Johannesburg, South Africa and was 17.5 hours and I was unbothered.

Oh and you're way more likely to be in a car crash than a plane crash.

Flown 10+ times. You just get used to it.

i never been on a plane and im afarid of heights soo

I love flying! The takeoff feels amazing and I love the feeling you get when the plane is descending.
Is it weird that I like turbulence

Just distract yourself. My flight from Chicago to Paris was about 8 hours. In that time I read a full book, ate two full course meals, and watched about 4-5 episodes of Tia and Tamera's reality show. I was fine. You'll be just fine too.

No, I'm the same. I like a little adventure and change of pace in my flight.

And always remember: flying is much safer than going by car.

I like turbulence too. It gives me a slight adrenalin rush. But when it occurs for too long, I get nervous.

I love flying. The feeling of my stomach dropping is such a rush.

Just relax, distract yourself, go to sleep.

I wanna see you be Brave

Just remember sis, you are more likely to survive a plane crash than click on a banner ad.

I HATE IT! I've been flying like 15 times already and I'll never be able to start liking it. I have all kinds of paranoyas... Actually most of my nightmares consist of plane crashes... it's horrible but I can't help it

I used to love flying, but it got old and now I kinda have the flight anxiety

Takeoffs are a b*tch for me. Once the plane is up in the air and leveled off, I'm generally fine.

Last year I got into the most terrible turbulence while flying from Berlin to Istanbul. It lasted for about 20 minutes and was really really severe. People were crying and throwing up. Scary.

I hated flying during my first time, but after that I got used to it
