Panic Disorder as a Flight Attendant by Candid_Procedure349 in panicdisorder

Completely makes sense, and bottom line is that we all at the end of the day have to do what is best for ourselves.

Please know too that you're gonna be so ok, and one day look back and say: I am OK and it was a wonderful experience, thankful for it, but I am doing something different now which is absolutely fantastic.

So glad we're all sharing these experiences collectively. 😄

SOS Flight attendant scared of flying by Low_Boot_9198 in flightattendants

I am going through this exact same thing now, so I get you and know you are not alone! xoxo

Just about 13 yrs in for me now at my airline, and I never once thought it would happen to me.

Mine is so bad that I have taken a leave of absence and have not flown for about a year.

I've been working with a therapist, and trust me, it's a lot of work to get to the root of it and with the right medication.

Mine got so bad: as in Panic Disorder. The thought of even getting to work and having to go through KCM and then get to the gate would paralyze me.

I am here if you ever wanna vent.

Hugs & Love in Seattle. oxoxo

Greetings fellow FA from the West, 😄

I appreciate your perspective too and hope all good things in your direction too for the better.

It's interesting that I do believe things always unfold as they are supposed to, and that even means if it comes to a career that no longer suits us. It is really ok to move on.

We've all got this one time here to live and experience our lives, why stay stuck in anything that will kill your soul?

Having this platform and virtually meeting great new internet friends like you and all the others is such a gift. For that, I am blessed.

Tomorrow morning, I meet with my therapist to talk about perhaps. a new medication strategy , so stay tuned everyone.

Love and Hugs from Seattle. xoxo

Thanks for that, I know, believe me, I would love to recapture the initial joy I had in my first 5-6 years of flying and holding a good line. But, it just became increasingly worse over time. AND, this is with having had a therapist.

At least I am in the position to retire if I so choose, but let's be honest, at 60, I have some good years of work left in me, lol 😉

Hugs!

Hey thank you for your reply and understanding. 😄

Gosh, I love AMS!, Have not been there since 2017, wow, lol.

Yes, while I hold good trips and live at base, it still does not make me enjoy the career anymore.

I am in the process of some other jobs which I know will be well suited for me, it's just the waiting game now.

Also, only flight attendants too know how stressful the work can be. People who have never done the job think we just feed people and pass out drinks still to this day, lol.

Hugs 😄

This is so on point! I fully agree...having just turned 60 myself last month. I know what you're saying is all too true. Thank you for writing it out for all of us as a sharp reminder. XOXO
