hi everyone,

i have a problem. I am working on the instrument rating and plan to fly professionally someday. i love to fly and have always been interested in aviation. my problem is turbulence. it scares the sh*t out of me. i feel very uncomfortable when in the bumps. i feel like i am going to lose control of the plane... and that really bothers me. i was in reported "moderate turbulence" today and am really considering throwing in the towel after freaking out about today's flight. I don't see how i can progress to the airlines if i cant handle turbulence. i know it takes severe or extreme turbulence to actually damage an airplane, but when i am up there in moderate or light i still worry. I am curious to see if anybody has had this problem and if so how can i get over it?

Thanks for your help!
