Re: Scared to fly...
I am queen of flying anxiety... what are you afraid of?? Crashing?? Or are you like claustrophobic??

No, it's not my first time...I've flown before. I am terrified of heights and just don't like being up there...also I think of crashing, which I know is silly.

Re: Scared to fly...
I am petrified of flying and yet I do it all the time. I just try to remind myself that it is safer than driving and that I'm taking more of a risk driving on the LIE. I also try to think of all the flights that have taken off and landed safely today alone and then imagine how many that is in a week, a month etc. Chances are very good that I will be just fine.

Bach flower was recommended on here by a couple of people. You can find it in a vitamin shop/herbal shoppe. I haven't taken it but it's been pretty popular on these boards. Can't hurt!

It is called "Rescue Remedy" by Bach. It is a bunch of flower essences in an oil form. You put a couple of drops into a water bottle and drink it on the plane. You can also put three drops under your tongue when you are on your way to the airport. I used it when we flew to Hawaii in January because I was preggo and could not take ANYTHING. It really helped. Have fun in Florida.
