Know what "white knuckling" something truly means...

[jenkins]

I'm flying out of Ohio going to Texas Thursday. I'm terrified. This will be my 2nd time flying. I'm SO scared of crashing, that's all I can think of. Now I know what "white knuckling" something truly means. That's what I did on my previous flight. Doctor has me taking anxiety meds before the flight. Just curious if anyone has any coping mechanisms or tips that might help me? Thank you
