Help with my fear of flying anxiety and panic attack

What can i do? my life is crippled with this problem. My fear of flying has ruined my life. I get all the common symptoms of anxiety. I just can't stand turbulence, the "bumps" the ups and downs of an airplane. Luckily i don't believe in a bad curse or premonitions. I read recently a story about this:

This is the story of a man who traveled frequently, and because of an odd premonition that he would someday die in an airplane crash, he refused to fly. For shorter trips he drove his car. For longer trips, he took trains, and even boats, to his destinations.

One spring night a pilot of a small plane experienced a complete engine failure. On top of that, he lost his electrical system, and with it, the use of his radio and navigation instruments. Mist filled the sky. The moon had not yet risen. The plane went down helplessly and blindly in the darkness.

Though injured, the pilot survived the crash. He still cannot remember anything that happened as the plane struck the ground and plowed into a motel just outside of a large town. There was only one casualty: a man sleeping safely in the bed of his motel room. On that sad night, that man?s life-long premonition that he would someday die in an airplane crash found its conclusion.

I just want to get rid of my fear of flying anxiety and panic attack

is there anyone who can give me any tips or help?
Are there any fear of flying course?

Hi Jane,

I'm no expert but i think that one can overcome your fear of flying, anxiety and panic attacks with simple mental exercices. Plus the story you described is a very interesting one!

I really think you should contact some airlines as i'm sure at least one offers a course to releive the symptoms of anxiety and fear of flying.

Good Luck!
