Until recently. I saw a psychologist and had 5 sessions. It worked a treat. 5 flights since and not a drama. It is too late for you to see someone before this trip but one of the things that helped was putting a relaxation tape on my I-pod. I asked the staff at the gate if I could use the I-pod (explained the fear of flying) and they asked the captain and he said it was fine. Also the staff (Jetstar) were great - kept checking on me throughout the flight. Really did help.
Good luck. I know how debilitating this can be.
