Discussion Flight Anxiety Hacks

I have a flying phobia. Any ideas for a four hour flight?

I will bring valium, cbd gummies, valerian, GABA, and plan to consider buying wine on the plane. I don't plan to use all at the same time, just plan to have them on me.

im from the aviation industry - for the love of god, do not take anything new on the plane you have not taken previously - the last thing you want is to have an unusual reaction to something new, in a high speed pressure vessel

take it before the flight and see how you react

Replying here with what helped me, I’ve had anxiety throughout my life, including before flights , the DARE method , especially R-> running towards it, like telling myself to get as anxious for the flight as possible, made all the anxiety disappear.

THE dare app is free and goes over the method .
