Is this only me....all my friends seem to cope admirably, flying across the ocean from continent to continent, the thought of it, turns me into a shuddering mess, I know its silly as I am hampering my chances of seeing the world, take a sleeping tablet they say but I know that wont be the same and worry about having a panic attack, so silly I know..... 
OK I had to fly OZZ to UK and back 15 times 10 alone since 1990 and not only am I terrified of flying
BUT my husbands parents were KILLED in a Plane crash on a Pakg holiday to Spain when he was 13
This year alone Ive flown to UK to see Dad bury him return to Ozz 9 weeks later return to UK then fly all over Euroipe Paris rome Venice Bahrain etc etc and I scared witless I feel sick I feel Im doomed
Every bump Ive been known to scream ALOUD I was moved 3 times to Buisness class cos I was amess
I flew alone again last week to New Zealand and back again 5 days later
