How to convince myself that my plane wont crash?

-im flying to Uluru (in australia) tomorrow morning and im so scared of planes!

i always think the plane is going to crash and i get so nervous/anxious that i start feeling sick

please reassure me somehow???I truly feel your pain, cos I am due to fly on Friday, and I am teriffied! I always have this when I fly but is partcularly bad at the moment. At the end of the day, the best advice I can give is realize and accept the overwhelming likelihood of the reality that you will be fine. You might say then - as I do - but what if I am that one? The best answer I have to that one, assuming you have to fly (and let's face it, in the modern world we do, unless we become hermits) is to somehow make yourself not care/be fearful, and in the process accept it. In other words, take a pill (valium perhaps?) or some booze. It's all I can ever do to make it all a little more bearable. I know it's a horrible feeling, you do have my sympathy. I'll leave you with this thought. If someone said to me would you be willing to bet half your salary right now that the plane won't crash, I'd do it. Hope that gives some comfort!
Just realize that you have the same chance of stepping out your door and having the same plane fall on your head. It either does, or it does not.



Probability is almost the same at winning the lottery, 3 consecutive weeks in a row.





P.S. there is a difference in Chance, and probability. Chance is always 50/50, either something happens or it doesn't, Probability is how often something could potentially happen.)
It is rare that a plane crash occurs considering that thousands of flights takeoff and land. In fact, there are more cars accidents than plane accidents.
