What to do if you are afraid of flying: trying to calm your fear with alcohol is definitely not worth it – it won’t help
Fear of flying is a completely normal phenomenon.
At least for this reason, you should not be embarrassed to contact doctors so that they can help you choose sedatives and work through your fear of flying.
Instead of creating a background of information about the dangers of air travel, repeat as often as possible that it is the safest way to travel.
Flying alone? Make sure you have some fun distractions for yourself.
You can read a book, watch a movie, plan a trip, etc.
A special breathing technique helps, according to which you should inhale for 4 counts, hold your breath for another 4 counts, exhale for the next 4 counts, and hold your breath for another 4 counts.
Many people find that sleep helps them cope with the flight, so be sure to bring a sleep mask and an inflatable pillow.
But alcohol does not help cope with anxiety, because its calming effect is short-lived, and the consequences (headache, dehydration) occur faster than the plane lands.
Earlier we talked about how to stop spending money on all sorts of nonsense.
