I've flown on planes my entire life. Literally. Once I lived on my own and I had to fly places by myself, I started getting more nervous about flying. Not so much the idea of actually flying thousands of feet in the air, but the only part that really gets to me is the turbulence.
I just can't stand it.
I end up putting a death grip on the arm rests and closing my eyes praying it will all be over soon.
I don't mind the little bumps here and there, but it's when you can visibly notice/feel the plane going up and down, left to right... that's when it gets to me.
I keep telling myself it's all in my head, and I just need to get over it, but that's not helping me apparently...(and I know it IS actually all in my head..)
So how can I get over it?
I tried, once, by telling myself it was just like this really bumpy bus ride I had gone on once, and it actually helped a little... but then my nerves just overtook me and I gave in.
