I have an odd fear of flying. It comes and goes, but I've been flying my whole life. Not until recently have I ever had a single fear of flying.

It actually has NOTHING to do with terrorists.. and I know it's a totally irrational fear, but hey, it's there.

Honestly, I don't wanna worry about it. I'd like to get over it, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. However, I do know that certain medications would be of use to me.. anti-anxiety kind.

I'm gonna schedule an appointment with my doc this week, so is there a certain kind I should ask for? This is only a 90 minute flight, so I don't need any heavy duty junk that'll keep me comatose for 5 hours.. just something mild that'll relax me so I just don't give a damn!
