Oh Tracy - poor you and lucky you! I know what like it is to have a phobia. I suffer from vertigo but I don't need to be up high to get giddy and all that. Try and sty calm, have a wee vodka and just look forward to getting off the plane and landing in SUNNY IBIZA. Fingers, toes and everything crossed for you!

Good luck Tracy! You will love it once you are there. Is it such a good thing packing your things seperate as this would give you the excuse you need. If you pach your things together then you would have to go! Dont let hubbie have all the fun you go girl!!!

Have a fab time Louise x

aaaw bless - have a few stiff voddys on the way to the airport - but dont overdo it as they wont let you on the plane haha

OOhh - very envious, see I've gone green :Look_righ :green:

Don't let your fear control you, if you are that nervous already why not take half a tablet now, once it's kicked in, do you packing, finalise your last few bits and pieces so you're ready to go in the morning.

There is no point in working yourself up into a state now, you've got over 24 hours to go before you even leave for the airport. There is no point in stressing until you have too.

Tell yourself 'yes I am nervous, but I don't need to think about it until I get to the airport, I'll decide whether I want to go or not I get there' - and leave the decision until you actually make it to the airport.

Worrying about it won't make it go away, it'll just make time drag and you'll get more worked up.

The power of positive thinking and Geeking - we can get you through anything

I know you can do this and I'm looking forward to hearing all about Ibiza when you get back

But my auntie suffered from the same phobia and didnt go on holiday at all until a few years back now theres no stopping her shes on holiday all the time! When i went to Cyprus last August there was an internet cafe at the airport and so could log on! Good luck and make sure you do it as it will be worth it, and soon your be back on rubbing it in that youve got a nice colour x x x

Hi Tracy,
I can really relate to you on this one, I wouldn't fly at all, I had panic attacks even driving my car so planes were no no's.
Then I had cbt for my fear and in may 1999 I flew to the algrave Like you I was terrified and didn't sleep a wink the night before we went. I was physically sick when we drove to the airport and felt silly for feeling like that.
I kept telling myself that if I panicked it would only last a minute or so and then the anxiety level will have to come back down. I boarded the plane armed with diazipan and was physically shaking :Scared: as the plane took off I felt very panicky and faint but once up in the air I calmed down and have to admit the flight went really quickly.
Well now the good bit, Because I had faced my fear and not let it ruin my holiday I was on cloud nine, I could now get on a plane and since that day I have flew many times, I am not loving flying yet but will do it now.
Tracy face the fear dont run from it, It can not physically harm you and if you face it , It will die and you will feel on top of the world.
I hope you have a lovely holiday and YOU will get on that plane, For you it will take courage alot of courage, But remember your not alone many people suffer like you with fears and let them rule their lives, But with courage you can rule your own life.
:hug:
