Thats true! My fear of flying is not of "flying" but of being stuck in a plane and thinking a panic attack and loss of control of myself will happen. Thank you.
I believe this fear is not solely on "flying" itself but the fear of being contained in a place where when that plane gets up in the air thats it, your lose of control to stop that plane to get back to your "safe zone" has totally left your hands and you can't find any other way to control that situation hence the fight or flight starts to set in. So trying to find that balance between just letting go of your surroundings and stop trying to control the situation is key to stopping a panic attack,let the fear consume you and fight it...
This my brother explains my situation exactly. If I could get up and walk around to take my mind off the flight I'd be okay but the fact that you are stuck or trapped and are committed to the situation make me feel claustrophobic. I'm working on it though. Good luck and peace and love to all who suffer from anxiety and depression.
+Adam Jackson Yep. You nailed it. It's a strange combination between claustrophobia (fear of confined places) and agoraphobia (fear of being far from a place where you can get help or feel safe). Good news is this awkward sensation does NOT last long. You certainly feel it the first 15-20 minutes after take-off, but then you get used to the noises and movement (planes are pretty steady though). Our imagination makes it look a lot worse than it actually is.
you are totally right!
Adam Jackson Agree,for me it is like that.
Adam Jackson finally someone described it so well...exactly how I feel. I think it’s about the space of where you are, than that fear to fly on a plane
all you who have panic attacks I send you all my love. This video made me cry because I know its the answer & I imagine you all becoming free watching it & long for you to have that. Love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I cry for you tears of HOPE not despair. Whoever made this panicaway isnt asking for any money they give all this for free because they love us xxxxxxxxxxxxx. They are a beautiful person. So amazing
I took my 1st flight in YEARS just last weekend. It was way easier than I thought. Anxiety? Yes (I couldn't sleep well for 2 weeks before flying.. and walking towards the aircraft was quite a challenge lol), but no panic attack whatsoever. My advice for scary flyers would be: 1) 90% of what you think might happen will NOT happen. 2) It's important that you face your fear. Do not avoid it. 3) If possible start with a short flight (2 hrs) and exercise same or longer exposure soon after. 4) If possible ask someone you trust to fly along with you. That's what I did and it reduces anxiety significantly. 5) Try not to focus on your own thought or feelings. Talk to somebody (even if they're strangers or flight attendants) and let them know you're just trying to cope with anxiety. 6) Keep in mind that you are NOT a coward. We all have fears and people who are fine with flights might be scared of spiders or horror movies. You are on a plane, facing your deepest fear. That's not coward. That's pretty brave my friend. You'll be alright. Have a nice flight!
Great advice! The ONLY way through the fear is to challenge it to get WORSE and NOT retreating. My whole life has been plagued by fear, I am now finally taking control. Nobody can help you but YOURSELF!
my first panic attack occurred 35 years ago when I had a traumatic reaction to marijuana. first time i realised that my mind could be my own enemy. i think any panic i have subsequenly experienced since then was because of the scars from that one time. maybe conscious maybe a little subconscious. but as this video says, embracing the feelings, not running from them is the way forward.
I really appreciate this informative vid. thankyou.
hi, I have been there. im on meds. it has really help. don't block or fight against it, accept them, I also have a fear of getting one, and that makes it worst. there was a point where I couldn't even go out. I would cry and cry. don't loose faith. im doing better now. just pray and think positive.
For anyone who is facing fear with fliying Im going to share my little story that maybe helpful.
For 7 years I had some issue in my life as a result I was having fear attacks when I had a ride on a car or anything else, I was a healty handicap in some way and after 4 years I decided to confront my fear and travel with flight. I bought my ticket in advance and I prepared myself mentaly I took my son with me as the only source of comfort and safety, every time those horrible thoughts which are responsible for my fear tried to wear me up I conviced myself that no harm would ever affect me today as I was controlling the destiny and no more under the influence of the destiny.
I had with me my ipad and of course my favourite, the feeling to reach my destination was quite comparable to someone who was just released from his captivity after such a long time, I felt that was reborn.
If I could make it then you can make it.
Thank you for sharing but for me NO NO NO I am to frightened to fly I will not ever Make it.
I'm sorry but i will not fly i know what would happen to me My sister has try to get ,me to fly with her on a plane we get to the airport and i wanna go back home i would freeze up start crying I wanna go home
No I haven't I have talked to a physco threapist sorry I don't spell very good because take different meds like haldol and lithium I would have to be Careful bout xannax what i'm afraid of is when they close that door and no way out
The one thing that has helped me overcome a panic attack or stop one before it happens is to hold my breath for a good few seconds.
Something to do with low Carbon Dioxide levels in your body so when you hold your breath the bodys chemistry balances. I feel almost instant relief.
I started getting so much anxiety just watching this I hate flying
You and I both sister
I love plane rides since I first set in a aeroplane as a kid till teenage years. now as I aged in thirties hate it. however I love traveling but I hate flying.
I'm so nervous for my flight next year! I fear the takeoff the most. I feel as if I will have a panic attack when I am on the plane. I am 12 years old, and I have been afraid of flying ever since I have known about it!
This actually works! In various situations.
Much easier said than done, it takes tremendous courage and strength to adopt this level of acceptance. to let go and see what happens
This really works.For me, flying doesn't scare me...I understand that it is safer for me to fly than to drive, walk, dance, whatever.... I just have an overwhelming fear of having an actual panic attack while Im way the eff up there...and than freaking everybody else out,I live in Mexico and fly back and forth to visit my family in the states.I get on the plane now and I own it...I treat my panic attacks like a little bitch and demand that it gives me more...TOTALLY WORKS..a cocktail helps too..
Going to Mexico in about a month and I am already brainstorming all the worst possible scenarios of my potential anxiety attacks 😮😮😮
Every time I have to get on a plane I watch this video. It calms me down.
Excellent approach....don't be afraid of fear...directly attacks the vicious circle feedback loop.
This worked for me recently. Thank you for the post!
My anxiety kicks in when I start thinking of the maintenance of planes and how they buy cheap parts from China in order to help their bottom lines. Also, putting my trust in a machine over a large body of water hoping that it will go the distance.
Excellent video.. this really helped..so the main secret is just to except and to just release!
I suffer from Anxiety and Panic attacks and in the last 5 months I have flown 2 long haul flights. My top tips, 2 alcoholic drink before take off, keep yourself topped up at that level throughout the flight but most of all walk through the flight before you go and follow this easy process "I am walking on, I feel excited, I am sitting down and the seat feels like "X", and I am looking forward to my holiday, The plan makes "X" noise, but I am feeling excited. - It got me through and its really worked...I did see a therapist before hand who helped me with the above thought process. Good luck!
Love the video ! thankx for posting !
This is wonderful, thank you!
I'm going to Florida in two days and idk why but I don't feel comfortable going on a four hour flight, hopefully this helps
THANKS YOU SO MUCH!! YOU JUST HELPED ME WITH MY BIGGEST PROBLEM OF ALL TIME WHICH IS FLYING PLANES. I HAVE FLOWN ABOUT 15 TIMES AND EVERY FLIGHT WAS A NIGHTMARE BC I DON'T PANIC BUT IM UNDER CONSTANT STRESS AND CHOKING WORRIES THAT I CANNOT EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC MUCH LESS EAT OR TALK OR SLEEP. THANKS A MILLION!!!
This video helped me a lot, thank you!
Usually i put my head between my knees to prevent me panicking. I always tell my self that everything is all right and when i feel bettter i read a book or do
something to take my mind off flying.
This has been very helpful to me.
OMG Thank you! I don`t feel so scared as i used to be. THANK YOU!
thanks that really helped, i love flying, im 13 but im going to fly alone for 16 hours these movemnets and relaxashions really helped me. thanks alot
I have a flight from Minnesota to Texas and then to japan then to Thailand, I have had bad panic attacks and some small ones I have and inhaler form my asuma I worry I will freak out on the plane never flown before I tried the eye taping just now and wow that really helps I get really exited a lot lol very easily so I will try this if it happens I know Texas to japan is a long flight I hope I will be fine
THANK YOU!
I've been through the same thing it's okay you're not alone and the worst part is thinking it will never go away but you need to find a way to relax even though it may be hard trust me I've been there only I didn't get any counseling because my parents didn't really believe me until I had a real bad panic attack you just need support and you need to talk to your family about it just find a way of releasing it I really recommend meditation be in control! its your body!
Just this evening I was thinking that one thing that might help me (along with the letting it come aspect) is to start a crossstitch or knitting or even colouring project AT HOME in
my RELAXATION mode so that when I pick up my project while on the plane, I will sink back into my comfy, safe, enjoyable home share.
I wanna cry you guys explained everything I feel I'm going to try this
I always have a panic attack and I am like turn 10. But when I saw this video it helped me
THANK YOUUUUU NOW I WILL BE READY FOR NEXT YEARS FLIGHT TO ATLANTA :D
That one was REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD! I just hope it works pretty soon.
thanks for this video
I"m going to try this!
My biggest fear is throwing up myself and having a panic attack and feeling sick
I did not had a chance to fly when i was younger , my first experience of flight was 4 years back and on. I had managed to control my fear by constantly flying...at a point,i know some thing which calms me down..like listening to music, gums or sweets, orange juice(works well on me). A mere 2 hours flight seem to be at ease...i get these attack during take offs and landing(sometimes)....and i hate when the plane have to wait in the air to have a clear runaway(that body tense)....I love to have conversation to divert my attention...instead on focusing on the destination/flying...i divert my self on the important things i have to do...and i imagine its just a bumpy bus ride(works for me). I hope this is useful to some.
I know as soon as they shut the door i will scream my head off !!! Arrggghh ! I hate heights !! :'(
Same
I got scared just watching and I'm flying to germane tomorrow and it takes like 10 hours😭
+Fairytail Queen How did the flight go?
It's been a year since you posted this comment.. How was your flight to Germany? Were you okay?
How was the flight?
Fairytail Queen lol how did it go? I've got two 8 hour flights to take on Monday to get home following a medical situation 😢 the unfortunate thing is when I finally land (18 hours later) I might need surgery within a few days! 😂 flying and surgery have ALWAYS been my biggest fears and now I can no longer run from them. I have to do both to live a happy life. I hope I can look back in a few weeks/months/years and say "I did it! I overcame my fears and I'm now happy and healthy because of it" I'll be using these techniques for all three situations. Anyway, wish me luck 😊✌
How did the flight went ?
Wow. I just learned a critical life lesson right here.
this is very helpful
his tie is burning why is he so calm?!?!
This a perfect described video
I do all the best of myself to avoid don't fear to flight. It's tiresome and I arrive exhausted. I'll use your technics. Thank you
this has calmed me down alot i was scared of going to america tomoz and know im exited not scared
in zen and meditation you learn to let whatever feelings come to you panic fear whatever,....its hard ....but panic attacks cant kill you....
Thank you for sharing ur experience.I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks when theres alot of people like in crowded places,even at Costco.I'm doing better. I have a huge huge huge fear of heights I will be making my first trip on an airplane.Im already thinking what if I get one :/ I feel horrible when I get one. Im going to take Xanax to relax me.My counselor has told me to accept it vs fight or block it, cause it becomes worse.I will follow these steps. Im even afraid to get another one.
Relax all you need to do is ask for a beer and if you think thats not enought ask for one more trust me it works enjoy you flight.
@FudbalskiZavisnik Hi, I am just wondering how you got on during your flight. I think you're super-brave to go for it. I have a flight coming up in May, which gives me some time to work on the panic attacks, but the truth is, if I have one, I'll have one. I might have to get the boat back home!On one of my flights I had children being sent to watch me having a terror, under a huge jumper. It doesn't help when children (or adults!) scream. Do you have any tips?
I read all this comments and realised what I did not before, I am not alone!
lol this animation is great with the voiceover
Thank you for sharing ur experience. I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks when theres a lot of people. I will be making my first trip to mx on an airplane.Im already thinking what if I get one :/ I feel horrible when I get one. Im going to take Xanax to relax me. My counselor had told me to accept it vs fight or block it, cause it becomes worse. I will follow these steps. Im even afraid to get another one.
I get panic attacks on airplanes ...too
ANXIETY WILL BE FOREVER AND FOREVER YOU WILL FIGHT WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED OR CRITICIZED
next time I have a panic attack this is something I need to try.
I would normaly just go for the whisky or two and enjoy the flight but I will try this (not in a plane first but the next time I start to feel an attack coming on
1:44: My most unfavorite moment during a flight. And I have a collection of those.
this is so me!
Valium one tablet at a time every 15 minutes until you couldn't care less works for me every time. Get to the airport early, say 2 hours. Then have your first tablet. Make sure you have some food in your stomach(not junk food) otherwise you'll want to vomit the pill. Regardless of what people say(don't tell them anyway, it's your life) this works for me 100%. Forget other people's comments with the stigma of Valium. It works. I've travelled everywhere.
this helped
You should love panic and panic loves u too!!!!
It is not natural for humans to be up in the air like it would be on land or even near water. It is silly to fear flying based on the chance that so many things can happen to you anywhere you go although you have to check in and thats not always an easy thing to have to bother with at all
I tryed this, still had another bad panic attack, will never be going on a plane again in my life
Wife & I got a cruise booked for April 2021 and I'm already shitting bricks cos we have to fly to the cruise terminal. Its over 8 months out and I'm already stressed & panicked. Sucks even more so because while we'd be on the cruise, I won't be able to enjoy it cos in my head I'll keep saying "In 9 days I have to get on a plane", and the return flight is the one that always scares she shit out of me.
im afraid to fly last year i had a complete breakdown before the flight and of course missed it because i was too scared so this year i want to make it on vacation and not be scared so wish me luck everybody
This will work for sure? Embrace the anxiety and know nothing bad will happen?
@FudbalskiZavisnik How did it go?
i have a maybe flight from alaska to maraland
Thats how I feel. :c
I am going through panic disorder right now and have a fear of going out because they might happen. All the help ive had hasnt worked and no one i tell understands and just thinks im weird and my brothers are annoyed at me for not going to school and my mum is shouting at me to get over it! I see a counsellor each week but its not getting rid of them. Im going to c a doctor in london soon. will it work? please help me!
works
Why is he the only one on he plane?
Whisky, or any alcohol for that matter isnt a solution as it can increase Blood pressure and in turn may cause further nd or an acceleration of physical symptons, ie, racing heart, sweaty palms, uneasiness etc.
These are great tehniques for an anxiety sufferer,not that simple for someone with acute Panic disorder. These techniques can work but must be practiced and perfected to acquire the confidence that it will work.
.

@OwalTec YES THIS TRULEY IS TRUE:)
I booked a flight the other day and the lady said, " What side do you want to sit on" and I said " The inside" Ha ha.
I suffer from this.
Easier said than done
fly first class baby
You are irish
I don't fly Because i'm Scared. Planes go up high and come down Hard I am Just to afraid to fly a friend of mine tried to get me on a plane i froze my Legs Buckled up
It is unfortunate that Mark (the cartoon man in the video) doesn't realize that while he was driving or even taking public transportation to get to the airport for the flight he was in much more danger!
He looks like antonio benderes
I am soo scared of flying and I'm flying to Barcelona in a week but to be fair it's not that long of a flight it's only 1hr 30mins but I'm still really scared of flying I hate heights and I don't like the runway but im soo scared 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
Wish me luck !!!!
While takeoff, I just try to think I'm the pilot and I'm flying the plane. Then mid flight, I'm playing Flight Simulator.
How does this work for someone with agoraphobia? Not only I have a fear of heights, I also fear wide open areas.
I feel comfortable riding a train going through a narrow valley where I can never see the horizon.
I'm getting ready for a 7 hour flight to London in a month and don't think it's gonna be possible for me to do this without a sedative. I think I literally need to be knocked out before getting on the plane.
I used to suffer from an anxiety disorder for about 15 years so I am very familiar with the horrible symptoms that anxiety & panic attack sufferers have to live with both physically & mentally. After spending countless hours of online research, going to specialists, online discussions & various medications I finally found great relief from my anxiety disorder which has calmed down dramatically over the past 18 months to the point I would now consider myself anxiety free. Ive written some tips for anxiety sufferers below:
1. Take Valerian supplements. It is one of the best supplements for anxiety because it increases the availability of GABA in the brain. Valerian also helps with insomnia and is known to have very few side effects.
2. Follow every step in the video & guide at panicsolutionkey.com anxiety to tackle the root of anxiety in a NATURAL way via the ’60 ss’. This is very important!
3. Take up one of the following: tai chi, yoga or meditation (any other sport will also work). Not only will it boost serotonin in the brain through exercise but it will improve mental state due to offering yourself a distraction. While you are distracted for long periods of time your brain will even forget anxiety exists and so its important to do this for as long periods as possible.
Try those two steps and hopefully you will get as much luck with getting rid of your anxiety as i did. Obviously regular exercise, certain diets (drink camomile tea) & losing weight etc will have a positive effect but you should try tackle the root cause of anxiety, and remain strong minded about it as you don’t have to suffer forever!
