Conquering My Fear
Mon, Oct 27, 2008
Regular readers may have noticed that I haven’t written anything here for quite some time.
Those who know me well will already know that was because I have not been myself due to the fact that I had to face my greatest fear in order to meet up with my parents who emmigrated some time ago.
Well, I’ve done it now -
- I’ve flown there and back, despite suffering from aviophobia (fear of flying).
The flight there was uneventful which was certainly a great help.
The return journey ended with two aborted landings in high winds followed by a successful third attempt.
I was a little scared but ultimately ok.
I’d like to thank everyone who gave me support in the lead up to me making that trip - you all helped me immensely in your own ways.
Thankyou!

Glad you had a good flight. But this problem only gets worse over time — until you fix it.
Please see how to fix it at http://www.fearofflying.com/video_hs.shtml
I’m not convinced it’s a problem that can be fixed in my case though. Managing it seems to be the best solution.
Congratulations on beating your fear. Do you think it will be easier to face next time?
I don’t think I’ll know until the time comes but I certainly hope so.
You are still very quiet, I don’t think you have got over it really, have you?
Hi Aruna, good to see you around
It’s true that I haven’t got over it totally yet but if you are referring to the fact that I haven’t been on the site much then that has a lot to do with the fact that I have a lot of catching up to do at work - I was off for quite some time and have a lot to achieve in the run up to Christmas
