Fear of Flying Articles

I honestly think that articles like this one are written by people who don't have a fear of flying: http://www.responsesource.com/releases/rel_display.php?relid=63253

I think I've read a million articles like this one, and seriously, if it were that easy....no one would be afraid to fly. 

When you are as anxious as I am:

  • Eating a decent meal will not happen, I am just way too nervous.
  • How can you think positively when you are trying to do the thing that you hate most in the world?
  • Inform the cabin crew....I can barely talk without breaking down or crying.
  • I already tried meds, and they didn't work.
Where are the articles written by people who really have gotten over their SEVERE fears?

Wind! Not a Reason to be Scared

It was super windy while driving today, and it reminded me of one flight where the plane got completely tossed around in the air. 

A few thoughts:
  • Other people on that flight threw up, I did not (the throwing up part just means it was "that" bad)
  • The plane landed safely
  • I don't think it's one of the flights that caused me to get scared

I certainly don't like the idea of getting tossed around in the air, but I'm here to talk about it, and it didn't scar me for life. Therefore, wind isn't one of the reasons why I don't get on a plane.  I'll call it one of my non-reasons.

What is your non-reason?
