You got the wrong man er um person, Mr ewe2. I ain’t no northerner– I’m a 100% bona fide Suthern girl! a-hard-days-night-paul-11

I rang in the New Year by blissfully rocking out to Abbey Road , then spent the last five minutes leading up to midnight playing ‘Wish You Were Here’ (sorry folks, Ding Dong, Ding Dong was out of the question for me as I don’t have it, I did have it stuck in me head though– all night longa-hard-days-night-john-2). Twelve o’ clock struck to the sound of wind noises and that eternal, ceaceless riff, ongoing just like Time itself. 

(Come to think of it, I really ought to have played ‘Time’. Oh well.)

I think ewe2 got you both beat in the southern department. You both are still north of the equator.

QED. But the assumption is both fascinating and charming a-hard-days-night-george-9

That happened on Game of Thrones when Jon went North and a Wildling called him a southerner.

Anyone know any techniques, books etc that help get over the fear of flying?

Actually it doesn’t, exposure therapy has a proven track record to work. Not all at once but in stages so you get used to and deal with all the components of your fear in a safe and controlled way. If it’s a real problem, that’s something to try.

If I’m not going to get in a plane due to not being willing to fly then it misses the point to say just get in a plane.

The flying doesn’t bother me, @meanmistermustard, I’m okay with that. I do have a fear of crashing though…

‘Twas the one thing I always found funny about my father (and there wasn’t much I found funny when it came to my father), loved being on the water, would always rather go places by boat, terrified of planes, but the fecker couldn’t swim!!!

But @ewe2 is right, depending on how bad your fear is, and how bad your desire to fly is, exposure/aversion therapy, when is comes to flying is highly successful.

Many airports and airlines run them. They go through various bits about the safety of planes, coping techniques, etc. Then you’d spend some time on a plane on the ground, getting used to the environment. Airlines often have an advantage on this as they often have access to the simulators they train their cabin crew on (I mean the ones that stewards and stewardesses train on, not flight deck simulators), so can include simulated flights. These courses usually end with a short flight.

These courses have a very good success rate (though, it seems EasyJet do one, and I’m not sure that engender much confidence – especially if you took off from Glasgow and told you it would be a quick and down, that you’d be landing at the airport they consider their closest airport to Glasgow for normal flights, and you found yourself in Ibiza!!!).

Maybe you should just be a little less stubborn

The key to anxiety is BREATHING. Don’t forget to breathe. You are physically capable of getting on a plane. There is nothing stopping you but your BREATH.

It not about being stubborn and my apologies are meant if that is how it comes across. My concerns are about being on a plane when it is in flight, getting talked about what happens when its flying wouldnt solve the issue of actually being on a plane as its all not real. I dislike the idea of being on a plane and what could go wrong as then there is no safety barrier, if you plummet to the ground. My head goes all over the place and all the time i’m in a simulator would be spent thinking “i’m in a simulator” (if you think im just being arrogant then please note its the same basic reason why I dont go watch Beatles tribute bands – my head the whole time would be going “that is not Paul” (i’ve posted that before). However it would be good to get passed the issue hence my question. 

So please accept my thanks for the suggestions but I know its not what I personally require.

When you inhale it’s recommended that you inhale as much as you can and that you then hold the breath in for five seconds. After five seconds you can exhale ALL THE WAY and then take another five second break before you inhale again. If you start to feel lightheaded that means it is working and you are doing it correctly. You might even lose feelings of your extremities. That is okay. Don’t be afraid – just focus on your breathing.

My aunt who was around when it all happened and therefore is a bit of a fan was saying to me, ‘You should go see the tribute bands, they’re great’. I just smiled and nodded, but I feel the same as mmm on the subject.
