Hi all,

At the end of this year, or possible next year sometime, I am moving to New Zealand (From England) to start a new life. :wave: :D

Slight problem though...okay...huge problem!
I am severely agoraphobic and social phobic (I can't even venture into my own garden :confused: ), which I know I can overcome to get to the airport as it'll be worth, and I will have family waiting for me in NZ, but I am now growing an intense fear of flying just to make matters worse.

I'm seriously worried about flying because I won't be able to escape, I will be alone and it's my first flight, it's a 30ish hour journey plus hours in random airports, and very scared about being over the sea as I have aquaphobia to the point where I can't even put water on my face or stand within the same grounRAB as a swimming pool etc... (I'm a doctors worst nightmare aren't I!!)

Has anyone else suffered from fear of flying and overcome it? I would love some advice about being on planes, airports etc

Thanks so much
Elle :angel:
