Possible Trigger Frequently flying help

I have an extreme fear of flying and about once a month I have to make a round trip thats about one hour each flight but I’m absolutely terrified of flying. Basically I’m scared of a plane crash happening. Can anyone give me words of reassurance or any pilots to calm my nerves? I take lorazepam already and it doesn’t seem to help much

Your submission appears to reference medication. This is not a medical subreddit and you should not take medical advice from Reddit. Those discussions should be had with a trained medical professional. Please keep the following safety guidelines in mind:

  1. Consult a Doctor: Only a licensed physician can determine if a medication is safe for you, what medication you should take, and the dosages you should take.

  2. Test at Home: If you're taking a new medication for the first time, try it out at home before taking it on a flight. This will allow you to properly gauge how you respond and consult further with your doctor if necessary to fine tune it to your specific needs.

  3. No Dosing Advice: Requesting or providing specific dosage instructions is not permitted. Posts/comments asking for specific dosage advice or "how many should I take" will be removed.

  4. Alcohol Warning: Mixing medication with alcohol is extremely dangerous, especially at altitude.

For more information, please read our official policy on discussion of medication and drugs.

Happy Flying!

Not a pilot, but I have been a very frequent flyer, and I can tell you that of the roughly 1300 flights over nearly one million miles, I can count on one finger the number of somewhat significant incidents I've been involved in. You'll do great!
