Hello everyone.
Im a pilot and i have anxiety, i was wondering how many people out there where in my position or how people deal with anxiety in there job.
and for the record I'm not scared of my job, Im scared the night before sometimes or about some situations.
thanks.
Hey welcome to the site. I did an aptitude test in school that said I would make a good pilot, sometimes I wish went that direction. It sounds really cool.

On what different things might help your anxiety? I find you can tell others everything under the sun but when you do/ start something for yourself it has more effect. Coming here is a good start
that would be a rewarding job
i get anxious about flying with some people, about checks, test and some times getting up early in the morning.
and just small things like if i get home late and have to get up early the next day and i don't have dinner or my room mate hasn't do it.
sounds stupid but… yea.

I'll be glad to share these with you and if you have tips that would be great also. One of my primary concern is that when I become anxious it shuts down my logical brain which of course makes it very hard to do what you need to do in the ca One of my primary concern is that when I become anxious it shuts down my logical brain which of course makes it very hard to do what you need to do in the cockpit.
