I mean, seriously, it was so bad that, when we'd land at our destination safely, I'd fight back complete sobbing at the adrenaline release...
...but then I'd spend the whole vacation panicking about the return flight. It was awful.

It's the best I can do, but it means I can get on a plane without panic attacks and weeping and gnashing of teeth. (I used to literally have heart palpitations for months ahead of any scheduled flight.)
I have heart palpitations too, oh boy.
A friend with a similar phobia recommended I talk to my doctor about this phobia a few years ago, and apparently there are a LOT of people who get a little happy pill to enable them to fly without panic and fear. Who knew?
