I've been a pilot for years...but only as an interest or hobby. Lately, I've had challenges with my mental health that has me considering seeing a physchologist or therapist. I'm dealing with obsessive thoughts and depression that is making life very difficult. I understand that going to a therapist has complications with aviation medical, which is why I've always been hesitant to go. I've tried sort of the self-help route, exercise, eating right, and so on - but at the point now where I don't feel like I have a choice.
What resources are there so that I can go into this informed? The thought of never being able to fly again due to this both complicates and adds to my anxiety and issues (which in itself seems like an unintended consequence of the current rules/regulations).
I want to get better - but how can I be smart about this and not set off certain flags that would stop me from ever flying again?
