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!

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
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.
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.
