Joe is that why I heard you issue diapers to all the guys you fly with?
Shawn I actually went through a very stressful point in my life where I had a fear of flying on my commute to work, yes I work as a pilot. It was momentary and no where near what you describe but there was a fear there. I think it's related to your other stresses and a feeling of no control. Maybe your mind is associating the extended period of no control (the flight) with other parts of your life that you feel are uncontrollable.
Not sure if it helps but there is a saying that the pilots are always first to the scene of an accident. Interpretation is that no pilot wants to take a dirt nap. They will do everything in their power to have a safe flight and there is a self preservation element to that. I and other pilots on this board have had some extremely serious situations in flight, you just handle them professionally like we are all trained to do.
