Thanks everyone, Jackie and AJ your advice is wonderful and I don't think I have time to do the Fear of Flying course but I am doing an online one which is helping. I know the fear is irrational and in a way I'm building it up as worse in my mind as I simply can't get it out of my head. I've been trying to keep myself busy but I feel like I have a permanent rush of adrenaline which is making me anxious. I was given Tamazapam (SP?) which I know is like valium I think and I'm not sure if that's the right stuff, but it makes me not care a hoot about much and also makes me drowsy which I'm not too keen on but I'll take it anyway. I have been taking the Bach Rescue remedy each day since I booked the flight and hoping this will calm me down. Is Zanax a similar thing to Tamazapam? You're right Jackie I know the crew and pilot does not want to crash either, but in some small way it's not the flight or going it's almost as if I'm afraid I won't be ab;e to get back and I have to fly twice to get home. It's all very irrational but something is triggered in this hollow brain of mine and I will try and discover what it is exactly. If anyone is interested in the online Fear of Flying course I can let you have the URL. For an online course it's very good so I'll keep acessing that till I go. I'll let you know how I get on. Jackie, it's also good to know that if I really can't do it, I just don't have to but I'm determined to one way or another

Ooops I got it wrong it's Lorazapam, I never take the stuff and I only have about 4 pills that were prescribed, so I went and checked on the bottle...duh!

Sandy K..... that TEMAZEPAM.....15 mg capsule, my Dr gave me to help me sleep at nites. If you take it for a long peroid of time it won't have any effect on you. Mine is a little orange capsule.....I take one at nite before bed if I need it.... Zanax, I've never heard of before and that Tamazapam I don't think is like Valium either. As I said my Dr gave it to me for a sleeping aid.

My hubby was like you and againest flying also but now he is getting use to it and not so bad. Course he won't admit it. I've Loved flying from my first time. To be able to almost touch the fluffy clouds and see all the formations. There beautiful..... Just set your mind to this and think about this long awaited trip you and your hubby have been waiting for and deserve.....How much fun your going to have when you do get to where your going..... Take lots of pictures as I love the pictures....... Have a most plesant trip and keep smiling......
