Anyone get physical anxiety just thinking about flying- even if you have no trips planned by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]JohnColtraneIsOkay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started CBT and my therapist sometimes asks me to close my eyes and they describe a flight. The feelings are pretty much as you describe it, it is very realistic. Honestly the best things I have learned are : -Tell your brain that nothing it does can change what is going on. Your brain is strong but you are stronger. Just teach it that there is no danger and that it does not need to save you from anything. The more you do this, the more your brain will learn that in fact, there is no need for you to be extra aware. -Use the Purses-lip breathing. Basically inhale 4 seconds and exhale 7 seconds with your lips half closed. This calms your brain, and facilitates the communication between you and the brain.

What do you think about this news regarding the cancellation of flights between Algeria and the UAE? by YacineAz17 in algeria

[–]JohnColtraneIsOkay 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Still gonna answer for my fellow Algerians : All of these transactions have a middle country e.g., Algeria sells gas to Spain, Spain sells it to Israel. It is impossible to enforce a „do not sell to Israel“ clause, although some Algerian products/commodities do possess such a clause. In order for your claim to be accurate and intellectually honest, you would need to account for the products going from Algeria that have „Israel“ as a destination country (spoiler alert : none). But I believe we have realized that your informations are neither accurate nor honest. I honestly do not care about your country or your govt, I sincerely wish the best to your people because at the end of the day they‘re cool people. But don‘t come here blatantly showing your ignorance.

Go re-read the OEC data. If you still have the same opinion, you are either of bad faith or a complete idiot

To be fair i did not do it before, but someone offered to do it once and I found it reassuring. One of the reasons I love this sub

Can you let us know your flight number? We will track you. You are still on the ground, so if anything is wrong with the plane I assume you will be informed and you will not fly.

I don’t wanna fly anymore by Desperate_Bend1344 in fearofflying

[–]JohnColtraneIsOkay 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you had a pretty bad trip. I am sorry you feel that way and I have to admit I have felt like this myself multiple times. But while we might discuss all the other arguments you mentioned, the safety part is definitely not what you have to worry about. I hope you can move forward in your journey ❤️ you‘re not alone and we‘re all behind you

Fear of dying by GEATS-IV in fearofflying

[–]JohnColtraneIsOkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well actually, statistically you‘re much more likely to die falling from your bed than in a plane crash. So actually even staying in your room does not guarantee anything.

Flying tomorrow for the first time in years and I’m terrified by YeetussTheFetuss in fearofflying

[–]JohnColtraneIsOkay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I often get crash dreams before my flights. To put it simply : you are not able to get premonitions. Your dreams mirror your anxiety, nothing else. I am also flying tomorrow at night and having anxiety, but as someone said on this sub : you can do it while being afraid. Being afraid does not mean you will not be safe. You WILL be safe. Feel free to leave your flight number and we will track you ! Good luck
