Anyone else have trouble flying?
 
I hate flying.

Not because I'm afriad of terrorists or because I get sick but just because I have serious control issues and I have to know what's going on at all times and if we hit an air pocket and jump a little I have to know that it wasn't a duck in the engine that's going to kill us all and it was just an air pocket. Most flights don't give me this much information when I'm flying.

Any suggestions? People that have the same/similar problems?

lol you need to relax :-) Airplanes used to scare me a while ago, but it beats taking a bus :-) Try to sleep or read, to take your mind off of it.

Yeah, I have the same problem. I like to be the driver when in a car. I feel safer.

I like driving the car too. The problem is that nobody else likes me driving the car.

I really don't know. This will be my first time on a plane. :]

first time on a plane?!?!?!
 
Ok maybe i shouldn't act so surprised :)

Commercial Jets are much safer than cars just think of it that way.

You're less likely to die in a commercial jet than to die getting struck by lightning if that helps any.

And you're much much much less likely to die in a commercial jet than to die in a traffic accident (no matter how good a driver you are)

That said, dying in a plane crash is like winning the lottery, in a sorta bad way :P

I love flying, especially at night. Bring a good book or take a nap.

Short easy meditation...
Breathe deeply in thinking "Safe", imagining safety surrounding every part of you.
Breathe deeply out thinking and releasing "fear", imagining fear leaving from every pore of your body.

No matter what happens, you know you can trust yourself to take care of yourself, so you don't have to worry about being in control or trusting everyone else.

You can try to change your MO a little bit - trust that the air pocket didn't mean anything, and trust that if something further happens after the air pocket that you can choose to investigate it, perhaps by asking the flight attendant for reassurance nothing's wrong.
