Answers:
It often helps to do things in baby steps!. If you live on the 3rd floor I'd suggest starting there!. Go close to the window and really notice how your body is feeling!. Does your pulse race, are your palms sweaty!? Try some deep breathing and relaxation techniques to help calm your nerves!. Then maybe try a balcony and do the same thing!. If you can focus in on your breath and what your body is experiencing it can really help re-train yourself from being afraid!. There is exposure therapy that also helps some people!.!.!.!.like maybe first visualizing a roller coaster and notice how you feel, then watching a video of a roller coaster, etc!. etc!. Hopefully you'll be more comfortable when you get to 6 flags!.

Also there might be some medication for motion sickness that could help with your fear of puking (either that or lay off the hot dogs right before you ride)!.

I'd suggest maybe talking to a licensed counselor, though, they might have some more specific suggestions about how to conquer your fears!.

best of luck to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com
