Think about it like this, a flight from new York to London takes 6 hours. Your only other option to get there is to take a ship which takes 7 fucking days, and surprise those things go down sometimes too, same with trains busses and cars.

Flying is a boring, smelly, cramped (in steerage anyway), loud affair. It isn't fun and it isn't scary. The fun part is getting out on the other side.

I focus on breathing and being in my body--I tell myself this same flight has happened thousands of times and it's all good. I then distract with books, music, hobbies.

I take anti-anxiety tablets on ships as I'm even more certain those are going down. I've always believed I will die by drowning--which is just me fucking with myself.

If you need medication for flying, then you do. I always take anti-nausea medicine for flights.

I could've gone with a train. it would be a 24h trip instead of a 3h but fuck it atleas i would feel like shit

Have everything super prepared so there are no issues. Get there early.

Try to sleep a little less the night before then take a beta blocker before you get the airport and something like a nytol an hour before you get on the plane.

Sleep the entire journey and forget about it.

Medication might not be a long term solution, but it sure as fuck solves mini-issues like this.
