So long story short I haven’t gotten on a plane since my 16th birthday trip back from the Bahamas I’m 27 now and still have not gotten back on a plane. I can’t bring myself to get on just thinking about planning a vacation that requires me on a plane gives me anxiety. I’ve come to realize it happens to me in a car sometimes too when traveling far by car. So maybe it’s being away from home and my home city where I’m comfortable that gives me a little anxiety too.

My husband loves traveling and going on vacations. We’ve only been on vacations in our state, never out of state. He’s the father of my 5 month old son and doesn’t stop talking about how he wants us to take our baby on vacation to different places. Which I would love to do as I want my kids to experience new places and cultures. I have a 9 yr old daughter who’s dream is to go to New York.

Anyone have similar experiences or advice on how to get over my debilitating fear of flying?
