I have anxiety, just thinkin bout flyin. How can I do this?

Last year, I planned to fly to Seattle to see my brother. I flew to philly from ny for the first part and it was ok,but when i got on the bigger plane to go to seattle I had a anxiety attack and got off the plane. I was really disapointed and ashamed of myself for doing so. I think its a combination of flying and clostraphobia. Now, today I have fallin in love with someone in the Philippines which is very far and I plan to go there soon to meet them, but I am having anxiety just thinking bout it. I went to the doctors and a counseler who prescribed me xanax. I took a half of a pill at my house last night, just to try to feel if my anxieties would go away. It did make me slightly less worried and I went to sleep later. Im just wondering if xanax will do the job for me on my long trip to the philippines or should I try something different. I just dont want to pay for a ticket and not go like I did before. Does anyone have suggestions or same expericences and or advice? thank you

I take xanax every morning and afternoon for bus rides. It works wonders.

Try this:

Take the xanax before you get on the plane, and the night before think about how ashamed of yourself you were when you had to get off the plane before. Think about how happy you will be when you see your lover and how proud of yourself you will be. Everything will be fine. Pray to God. He won’t give you more than you can handle :] and if you take a half a pill and your fine, then imagine the full pill! It will make you tired, so think that it will be less time of worrying!

Try getting Buspar also, for everyday needs. It works wonders :]
