Also, in addition to using these techniques, ask your doctor for some benzos. These are anti-anxiety meds that are taken as needed, such as Xanax, Ativan, Valium, and Klonopin. I love Klonopin, personally.
Good Luck! | Yep, I second that (and I tend to think in general people take these too much), it would only be a very occasional use. I'm actually going to try my first flight without them this week, in part because I think they helped me break the cycle--part of what I was afraid of was flipping out while flying, which made me more anxious...Anyway, my flight this week is pretty short, so I plan to take Xanax with me, but not take it unless I start to have problems (Xanax is pretty fast acting.)
