I am about to board a commercial jet for the first time since I started my training. Guess what? Still got the nerves, how pathetic is that?

Oh dear Have you thought of going on a course of cognitive behavioural therapy.

My ex wife suffered badly with Agraphobia leaving shopping trolleys in supermarkets etc with feelings of panic and being trapped.
CBT helped her a lot.

Every time you feel nervous it will be negative thoughts or how you felt in the past boarding an Airline kicking in you have to identify those thoughts and negate them with positive ones.

Face the fears and do it anyway. Good luck
