Common Questions and Answers about Overcome fear of flying course

fear

Avatar n tn The anxiety produced when confronted with height creates what is near panic. The fear only exhibits itself primarily on the ground and outside.. I do not have a fear of flying in a jet airplane or inside tall buildings. It has become a real problem for me to enjoy skiing. I'm ok as long as I don't have any major "drop offs" thus limiting the area's where I can ski. I've tried to overcome the fear with little success. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Avatar f tn As you said, the newfound fear of anxiety can be attributed to the fact that you had panic attacks during your last flight. It is similar, in a way, to agoraphobia. For your next flight, you can ask you doctor if you can take 1mg of Xanax to see if that helps. However, Xanax is relatively short-acting (effects last about 5 hours). Klonopin is probably a better option. It is very similar to Xanax, but it lasts a lot long (10-12 hours).
Avatar m tn Ativan has worked well for me in the past when flying. The thought of flying makes me panic but if I take .5 mg of Ativan about an hour before the flight I am okay. Good luck next Friday.
Avatar f tn New pathways need to be created to overcome the old programming. So for example, if you panic over a fear of flying, you must start flying and let the brain realise that its all okay, and reprogram the thoughts. However, the fear of dying can't really be practiced. Some buddhists meditate in a morgue as it is the closest we can get to dying. Once we understand that dying is just for the body and the spirit moves back to the energy (the light) we are no longer afraid of dying.
Avatar n tn I have had a toothache/facepain for over two weeks, I know I need to go and see a dentist but I have a great fear of going because of cetain circumstances that happened while going to the dentist as a child. I have been taking advil for the pain and most times it is tolerable but now it seems to be getting worse as it is keeping me awake at night.
Avatar m tn My son who is around 3.2 yrs has a constant fear of winds and rains .This fear comes from the fact that a couple of days back our window broke due to heavy rains and winds.And one of the glasses from the window fell on my wife's leg leaving a deep cut with blood oozing out. He was an audience to all these events and from that day on he has manifested the fear of winds. Now with the slighest of winds he gets scared making him un easy and cranky.
Avatar f tn I don't have a fear of flying but I get motion sickness. 1 over the counter dramamine will knock me out. I only have to take half of one. I switched to Bonine because I felt better on it. A normal dose of with either of these medications should help you. 1 Dramamine or 2 Bonine. They will calm you down and make you tired. With my motion sickness, my body temperature goes up, I get nausea, it feels like a bad flu. So, this would be an alternative to your xanax.
Avatar f tn So here's my story. For as long as I can remember I have always had an anxiety disorder. I have been on lots of medicine and haven't found one that actually works. My anxiety is at an all time high. Five months ago I had unprotected sex. Immediately after I began to stress out. 50 days after the encounter I paid $280 for a hiv RNA test. Then I took five oraquicks. Then got a blood antibody test at 88 days. Then at four months took another oraquick. All my results have been negative.
2036337 tn?1337104009 This is all a result of your fear of flying. Many have this fear and taking a Xanax before boarding the plane will help you. Take things to keep your mind busy like a good book. Your anxiety is peaking due to your fear, so the calmer you are the better you'll feel. Your tests have proven that you are very healthy...trust in that. The only health issue you have is anxiety and it won't hurt or kill you...it's just very scary.
Avatar n tn You seem to have some sort of fear factor going on with you that may need to be addressed so that you can go back to living a life for yourself and not turn back with completing simple tasks like walking to a store without fear. A very normal B/P would run you about 120/60+ and the upper number is the most important number so relax a little my friend. It may be time for you to make a visit with someone that you can talk to openly about your fears......
Avatar m tn I will be flying to Philippines in 2 days I normally have a MASSIVE fear of flights. This time round, I anticipate my fear of flights will go crazy because I will be going on an OLD aircraft (A340 model, possibly around 20 years old plane!) So how am I to stop this fear? Can i take Xanax? I checked with my insurance provider, and they say I can claim for Xanax, so looks like I can get a psychiatrist to dispense some for me.
Avatar f tn You can try hypnosis to deal with the fear of flying. That works for some people but if you have a lot of things that make you anxious the psychologist might be required.
Avatar m tn Agreed. But some of these fears can be overcome. Puppies and chicks tend to be fast moving. Find the right kind of puppy at a pound or store, and I bet his response will be different.
13598916 tn?1430685515 I think I may already know the answer but just to be on the safe side, can you fly pre-surgery or if surgery isn't in the near future. Does anyone know the effects of flying with a CM-1 and a mild cerebral tonsil ectopia?
3159640 tn?1430907300 Hello all, Yesterday I grabbed a big handful of napkins out of a dispenser and had to stick my hand in a bit to get them out. I felt a sensation on my hand, it may have been one of my nails hitting my hand, but of course I thought "hiv infected needle poke". I lifted up the napkins (a ritual compulsion I know!) and saw what I thought was a line of white napkin dust, but in my mind it could have been a syringe. I did not study it excessively and then I left.
Avatar m tn Next, you’ll create a list of 10 to 20 scary situations that progress toward your final goal. For example, if you final goal is to overcome your fear of flying, you might start by looking at photos of planes and end with taking an actual flight. Each step should be as specific as possible, with a clear, measurable objective. Working through the steps. Under the guidance of your therapist, you’ll then begin to work through the list.
Avatar f tn Prescribed .5 mg of klonopin for my fear of flying. Will this help? And what will it feel like? I hope it doesn't make me dizzy!!!!!
Avatar f tn the feeling of being not quite sure about something is one of the worst feelings especially when it comes to something as fundamentally simple and personal about ourselves. to overcome it, embrace what is uncertain. everytime you think about it, just say to yourself 'yeah ok im gay whatever' brush it off, agree with your mind - even if it feels wrong. eventually over time, you wont fear it any more and the thoughts will slowly go away.
739988 tn?1386672969 It depends how bad your fear of flying is. There are specific phobias around that. And some courses that help people learn how to overcome that. If its just generalized anxiety I'd say preparing ahead would be the best thing. Understanding the schedule and what will happen and the like. What to expect. I remember I had a similar occurence. And I had psychotic symptoms at the time as well.
Avatar n tn My fear of flying stems not from a fear of being unsafe but because of claustrophobia. I absolutely cannot stand the thought of being "trapped" in a flying tube for hours at a time. I just can't get over it. Help!
Avatar f tn old as I sit in my room and weigh the pros and cons of sending my daughter to daycare because her classmate was throwing up when I picked her up yesterday! Of course I was immediately feeling uneasy because of it and took meds last night to not throw up! I've talked to a therapist about it& it's done no good. This has been with me my ENTIRE Life! As a 6yr.old I sat outside my house for hours because a family member had a virus.
Avatar f tn Under suitable conditions light falling on the eye may render visible certain objects within the eye itself. So, this type of problem make an issue after some time so as soon as possible you go for the eye care specialist. I hope your problem overcome early.
15043259 tn?1438079981 Benzos are avoided in the treatment of anxiety disorders (they are almost only used for situational anxiety like stage fright or fear of flying). If they are used, weaker variants like Oxazepam or Diazepam is preferred instead of the stronger ones like Xanax and Clonopin. Have you tried some of these options, or did your doctor just give you Xanax and sent you home?
Avatar f tn The first type is beneficial and is to be encouraged. The second type is a detriment and is to be overcome. The first type of fear is fear of the Lord. This type of fear does not necessarily mean to be afraid of something. Rather, it is a reverential awe of God; a reverence for His power and glory. However, it is also a proper respect for His wrath and anger. In other words, the fear of the Lord is a total acknowledgement of all that God is, which comes through knowing Him and His attributes.
Avatar n tn gov/pmc/articles/PMC3830168/ This is typically treated like phobias and anxiety conditions with the recommendation to work with a psychiatrist and counselor and perhaps incorporate medication. This, of course, would depend on the severity of your fear and how debilitating it is to your life.
