I always make sure I have Oxazepam with me, not that I think I'm gonna need it, but only the thought of having it with me helps.
And when I need it I only take a half one. |

| Huh, well it's pretty comforting that so many people had the exact same experience I did when I was dealing with them. |

That, and the knowledge that people drop about airline safety in the Travel group on FB (I just added you) seemed to help with my next few flights. |

lol at being scared of death. .
I get being scared of dying from doing something stupid or dangerous, but to like be scared of death itself, as in the inevitability of it, I just can't fathom.
Probably comes from generally being a depressive lol.
Also being scared of flying? The only scary parts are take off and landing, and yea, those are also the most fun, so I am too busy going "weee" to be scared. Furthermore, it goes into the same category of the inevitability of natural death. You decided to get on that plane, once those doors shut you are with out a single ounce of control, so why even think about it. If you die, you die, nothing that can be done, so not worth thinking about. |

Right, you can't fathom it. Some people can. I'm such a for getting over that fear. :rolleyes: I'm sure you're afraid of something that would make me go, "lol, " too.

I am normally really cool with flying ... I knew it was a panic attack, I knew that I was fine, but I just could not stop ... Every flight since then has been smooth sailing, and to this day I have no idea what came over me. |

And I can agree, but you're still displaying an inability to understand the thought process of someone with what you find to be an irrational fear. You don't get it, so why give someone for something that you can't comprehend? |

Adam's sister in law spent the camping trip saying she couldn't imagine me being a dick (at least to her). It really got under my skin after a couple days lol. |

What you say makes sense, but that doesn't mean it will completely stop the panic. People with anxiety generally understand that their fears are irrational and although I think logical thinking is very effective, there is definitely some sort of overactive part of the brain that is unbalanced. |

Oh for sure. I get that. I am a hypochondriac, runs in the family. Good times, my oldest cousin and I basically can't go a few months with out thinking we have cancer or AIDS or something.
Only lasts like a week and its not a big thing, but it generally comes up with other stresses.
Just fear of death as a final end doesn't bother me. |

| I just opened the hypochondria journal citric got me a few years ago. The quote it was book marked to (I don't think I ever moved it, so lol I doubt it was intentional, but oddly coincidental) was pretty apt about this and a lot of other things. |
