thanks for your help!
yes i think i will get something grounding and maybe wear it a few days before flying so it has time to have an effect.
i'll also see what the doctor has to say. not keen on sleeping tablets though. it would feel like i'm avoiding the problem rather than facing it, if you see what i mean.
thanks again,

If you're an infrequent flyer, and you choose medication to help cope with an exceptionally long flight, I wouldn't call that avoiding. I'd call it a constructive way to resolve the situation.
Now, if you were in a situation where you were frequently exposed to the source of a phobia, and relied on medication every time, I'd say that maybe a healthier way to handle the phobia would be to find an alternative to the meds.
But for this situation, I think having a word with the doctor is a great solution.
Also, as far as carrying stones goes, my fallback for emotional comfort is rose quartz.
