Contemplating air travel when I have a hard time just driving an hour away from home!

Hi everyone,
Feeling sooo overwhelmed and down on myself. I have had anxiety and depression for over 20 years. One thing I have become very good at is avoiding travel because of panic attacks.
I am now faced with this situation;
One of my sons is graduating, I want to be there for him, I have said I will be. BUT! I am finding the idea of two plane trips alone and more travel on top of that simply mind boggling and full of what ifs!
I am wondering if anyone else has really forced themselves into this type of exposure therapy for family reasons and how they coped?
Please, I welcome any input, thoughts and ideas, I really need to discuss this with like minded individuals that can relate. At the moment it's just going round and round in my head and I have 2 weeks till his graduation, so the pressure is on!
TIA,
Sarah
