This year i travelled alot back and forth and i still have at least 3 round trips to do this year. I dont know why last year when there were some turbulence in the plane i developed this fear and it has stuck with me ever since. Last time i travelled back home i almost had a heartnattack not joking. And the turbulence was not even THAT bad. However since iv read alot about airplanes falling and disappearing in the past three years every trip for me feels like it might be the last. I cannot stand the thought of being in the air anymore. They gave me a pill once to "calm my nerves" but im pretty sure it was a placebo effect. And the worst part is i start panicking and being anxious the minute i know i need to travel.
Please someone help me. I asked my angels to calm me down but that didnt seem to work
Someone please help me get over this fear because it is really causing me extreme anxiety.
Thank you

Fear of flying is actually opens up quite a few issues for me.
I look at it as really entering into my old core fear of death. It becomes like a symbolism of having to let go fully in a confined space, no where to run and hide, you cant leave and escape what is, the sensations and changes even slight ones have me believing something is wrong and we are in trouble and that the plane could crash. The fact that I am up so high this causes even more fear, because there is no where to go if trouble requires immediate attention on the ground. If it cant be fixed in the air, in my mind we are doomed. For me flying represents a complete letting go and sitting with all those things that are unknown, as well as being ok to die this way if such a thing happens.
I often say to people, if something goes wrong mid flight far far from home, you cant just pull up on a cloud and fix the problem..
So its a valid fear and I can sit and face it all and let go fully, or sit and panic the whole trip and hold on tight, all the while not letting my awareness, confirm that I know I cant control what happens anyway, only manage how I feel and do my best as best I can.
I have tried to relax and let go many times but little things like turbulence or looking at the distance away from land activates my fears. If I experience really bad turbulence it sets me back ten flights..lol. I wont fly for ten years after bad turbulence..
I know exactly what I am going through, know what it relates too, but it doesn't seem to change the whole process for me.
I have to physically move so much in me to get on the plane, I usually end up crying and clearing to get on the damn thing..lol then when on its like one step down, twenty steps to go..I dread having to get back on and come home..
I fear, I let go and I usually get there and back. I don't see it that I fear flying as much as I am not completely comfortable and would like to simply relax in my fear of death in this way..
