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!
