Could you please sit beside me and hold my hand, please?

[Sugar Smack]

I'm sorry, I am never this big a freaking baby, but I hate flying, it scares me to death. I'm going to San Fran and I want to see my bro, but this shit really gets to me. It's just never been this bad before, my fear of flying. Hoka-freaking-hey. :scared:

[speedoo]

1. Sure, Sugar...

for you..

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

5. GAWD, thanks a million, speedoo. My dad's supposed to

show up here any second. Thank you. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Sweetie, I get the exact same way about flying...

I wish I could sit beside you and hold your hand...

Think of this... Even with my HUGH!11!!!1 fear of flying I have managed the flight from MI to CA a few times...


Have you thought about calling your Dr. for something to help you calm down. My cousin does this for his flights home from Belgium.


I am a big baby about flying and I always worry about my family when they fly. MrG had to fly on 9/11 and I was a nervous wreck. If it helps, I'll be thinking of you baby girl. :hug: :hug: :hug: Holding you close...

8. I "took" a little apricot brandy.

Thank you so much, L. I really love you. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :loveya: :yourock:

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. I really love you too...and I will be RIGHT there beside you...

promise. :hug: :loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

16. Thank you. I'll be thinking about you too.

I HATE being such a drama queen. I HATE it. But I really need to once every six months or so. :hug: :yourock: :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. That is a very REAL fear though. I don't think you are a drama queen

at all. It never bothered me until I had children. I don't know why I freak out so much now, but I do. :hug: :loveya:


Remember that episode on Cheers, or was it Frasier, when Frasier did the fear of flying class? I think of that episode every time I fly. :D

[Jamastiene]

3. I would love to hold your hand.

:loveya:

[Sugar Smack]

14. I'll pretend you're there, OK?

:hug: I'm like you on a windy day, my friend.

[Jamastiene]

26. Awww, I wish I could really be there.

:hug:

[miss_american_pie]

4. Of course

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[Sugar Smack]

18. Fuck yeah, it's MAP!

Thank you for that. The apricot brandy is working thus far, but I predict some sort of sweat-fest when I actually take off. Or when the plane takes off, not sure which. :hug:

[miss_american_pie]

20. Oh honey, the first time I flew after 9/11

was with my then 15 month old, on a commuter flight in the middle of the day. So I was nervous anyhow, and then all these businessmen were glaring at me for bringing a baby on their flight. And then after he was a perfect angel the entire time, one of them tried to hit on me. grrr

Anyhow, you will have a completely uneventful flight. I'm sure of it. :hug:

[LaurenG]

6. I will but

You'll have to promise to buy a drink for me so I don't cry too.

You'll be OK but I feel your pain. Where do I meet you for this flight? :):hug:

[Sugar Smack]

19. RDU, baybee!

I have 60 bucks for on-flight meds, so I'll get you & me a double bloody mary!

[LynneSin]

7. Oh hell, you should get a prescription to Xanax

that works everytime :D

[Sugar Smack]

10. Oh, ALWAYS with the "easy answer" LOL

:D :P :loveya: :hug:

I wish I could wring blood from a stone, m'darlin.

[NewWaveChick1981]

9. I'm sorry, Sug....

:hug: :hug: :pals: If I could, I would. Hubby's scared to death of flying too, and what helps him is lots of Dramamine. I don't know if that works for you, but he swears by it. :)

I know your flight will be uneventful, and you'll love seeing your brother. :D :bounce: :toast: Let us know when you get there!!!

[Sugar Smack]

21. I will, I'll post.

This is silly, it seems. But really I needed to post a thread. Thank you so much for being here. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[NewWaveChick1981]

22. It's not silly at all.

:hug: :hug: You've got a very real fear of flying, just like several other people I know. If posting is good therapy for you, I say do it!!! :hug:

[u4ic]

11. Awww, sweetie

Here ya go: :hug: :hug: :hug:

It will be so worth it to see your brother.

The first time I flew, I was terrified, so I took a Gravol. Fell asleep in Toronto, woke up in Amsterdam. Perfect. :-)

[Sugar Smack]

23. AH, SLEEP!

I covet sleep. I want it so badly on this flight. :pals: Thank you so much for that.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. Okay...

*holds hand*

It'll be fine Sugar. Next time you should get some xanax from your doctor. That'll definitely help out.

:hug:

[Sugar Smack]

24. Next time I will.

Thank you, Haruka. :loveya: I'm almost ready now.

[radwriter0555]

15. oh take a tranquilizer!!! everything just gets MUCH BETTER when you're

flying on tranqs!!!!

I recommend klonapin. It's the good stuff.

[Sugar Smack]

28. HORSE tranquilizers!

I'll just lie about my weight. Thank you, sweets!:yourock: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

25. I understand completely...

Flying scares the crap outta me. :scared: :hug: You'll be OK... but I know how you feel.

[Arger68]

27. Same here. I HATE flying!!! Everyone always says

"just take some Dramamine, you'll be fine" and I'm like, "I don't get sick, I get TERRIFIED!!! Also, I'm married to a gal from Switzerland, and the plane ride is about 11 hours total from Minneapolis. We're going again around Christmastime, and I'm already nervous. :scared:

[Richardo]

29. .

:hug:

It'll be OK Sugie. You're going to a better place. (San Francisco, I mean)

[RetroLounge]

30. I'd be honored to hold your hand...

and i hear there's some club in the sky we could join :shrug:

[LSK]

31. Amtrak??

I will not get on a plane ever.

It has always been my super duper uber fear.
