anxiety

I need some advice or info. I had a DUI whenever I was 19 years old. This was 13 years ago. They called this a baby DUI because I was under the legal limit of .08 so obviously less than .15. However, I was still charged with a DUI because I was under the legal drinking age. Due to the DUI my...

I’m looking to start a career in aviation and to get started I of course need to get my first class of medical. My only concern is a couple years ago during Covid, I opened up to my PCP about being stressed out at work and was diagnosed with anxiety and was on an SSRI for a couple of months...

Hello, I'm 28 and interested in pursuing a piloting career, possibly even doing commercial later. I've been getting some conflicting information and was hoping to find some help in sorting it out. I take two medications, buspar and propranolol, on a daily basis for anxiety, which has been...

I took Wellbutrin for 6 months and Prozac for 5 years or so in middle school and high school. I didn't want to live anymore at that point in time so I told my doctor that, which is where the Wellbutrin came in. I was never actively self harming, just was down because I had been bullied. I assume...

I need some opinions here. Just to disclose, I have not filled out MedExpress or gone through the actual examination. In 2019, I saw my pcp for anxiety issues that I was going through during my first years of high school. Now that I'm in college, I no longer experience these anxieties. I was...

Hello all, recently I was deferred for my class 1 medical due to my use of 1 SSRI (Lexapro). *I want to get a class 1 medical first to see if I'm even elegiable to fly for the airlines as a career in the future*. I got the dreaded letter in the mail from the FAA requesting I go to see a HIMS...

Hi all, I have a weird one. Has anyone else suffered terrible nerves and anxiety leading-up to your training flights? I feel like every lesson is it’s own checkride for how anxious I get! I’m working on my Commercial Single after many stops and starts over the past decade, and don’t EVER...

New here guys, I know this topic has been discussed but my case is slightly different. I am a Usmc vet with a 100% total and permanent rating. I’m 2 months from starting a zero to airline 10 month program and I need to know if I have a shot at getting and maintaining a 1st class medical. here...

We get a lot of questions in this forum about SSRI's and depression/anxiety diagnoses, and how (or if!) one can navigate the FAA medical system with them... I have picked a few hopefully useful threads from the recent past on the topic. If you've got a question about these issues, I recommend...

Hello, I am a software engineer in my early thirties living in south Florida seeking any information and assistance that could help me acquire my pilot's license. This topic has already been discussed many times on this forum and others, and I have probably read them all, but I wanted to get...

Hoping to get some advice from someone who knows or someone has been through this process in the past. I recently put getting my pilots license on the back burner, after finding out I’m most likely going to have some serious hold ups with getting my 3rd class medical. Long story short, my...

Okay, confession time. (I fully expect to get flamed) I am a low-time PPL SEL + Instrument. Total hours are 123.6 and 79 hours PIC. I've spent a lot of time working towards ratings so in terms of flying without a CFI I've only logged 37 hours solo. I recently knocked out my instrument...

Hi all, this is my first post here. Recently I've been experiencing a large amount of stress and almost constant worry about my work, studies, and my future. I feel this has not had any impact on my flying and flying/thinking about flying is pretty much the only time I don't experience any...
