The plane is moving, hasnt taken off yet.

Took some extra anxiety meds.

My blood pressure is definitely up a bit.

Ive flown quite a lot all my life until I was about 40. As a kid, I flew from London to my grandmother in Sweden a couple of times a year every year. It was no more dramatic than riding a bud, but a bit more exciting.

At about the age of 25, I was sitting on a plane waiting for take-off for a holiday in Greece when I out of the blue felt a sense of terror creeping up at all the weird sounds from the engines.

For the entire flight, every sound horrified me and I was terrified the plance was going to crash.

Ever since then, I have a irrational, strong fear of flying and have to take sleeping pills.

Came out of nowhere and now I avoid flying as much as possible. If I do fly, I make sure I have heavy sleeping pills. They usually knock me out cold except when flying, when all they do is calm me somewhat.

Im in favor of universal healthcare.

Like my personal HC is decent, my primary reason is I feel like it would be ALOT less confusing.

The first time I flew I was a kid. Maybe 10 y.o. I wasn’t scared or worried at all. When the plane landed (in Greece) everyone on the plane started to clap their hands. I asked my dad ”whY is eVeryOne clapiNg thEir hAnDs?”. He said ”It is because they are happy that the flight and the landing went well”. It was then that I learned that shit can happen and you can die a horribly death.

Since then I have always felt a slight sense of unease when I have flown. But only during take-off and landing, which is where most accidents happen.

When I book a flight I also make that I’m not flying with a Boeing 737 Max.
