I need help

I am so scared of flying, I need someone to talk to. Especially if you have a love of flying or have experience in the aviation field. I have a flight coming up but I’m already stressing about it. I dont want to die and leave my parents all alone.

Dying while flying is rare so idk why you should worry

@SStarfish I honestly suffer from anxiety. Our national airline has a good safety record (no crash related deaths in 65 years) or I could fly British airways. I just dont want to die especially after the China crash which looks like a pilot suicide.

Why? Would you be flying with a Chinese airline? Last time i flew there was a girl so scared of flying that she held my arm in a death grip when we hit turbulence.. but we were fine 🙂 @Sadwithasmile

@SStarfish I’d be flying to London so a Chinese or budget airline isn’t possible. I usually calm down a lot after take off, the take off is the worst for me.. no idea why. Even turbulence isn’t too bad in my opinion.
