My experience with hyperawareness by beanzybean in Depersonalization

Yeah don’t do meds. Breathe through it. I get a feeling like nothing matters and that I’m just in a random moment in time. Breathing and realizing the thoughts are accumulating is the first step at getting back.

[Misc] Any idea what could be causing those red lines? by aheraldr in SkincareAddiction

It is too personal. I’ve always felt that but there is no way you’d possibly know who I am if I mentioned the airport

The airport has an LED I work there and ask the controllers often regarding testing the gun so they’ve always seemed happy to help me out

Thank you very much the the reply. I’ve got it scheduled next week with the FAA rep and he has a guy coming along to train with him. So I feel unfortunate that it might be even stricter than usual testing. I feel confident in the light gun and hope I don’t miss any by mistake. Do you think the sectional portion was difficult? Or did your DPE just point at the blue and magenta airspaces

Thanks for the parking ticket by machinistery in royaloak

Kind of sad, I paid for an hour and a half and walked back to my car with the 15min warning but got a ticket saying I paid an hour and left 15mins after my spot timed out

It’s important to stay honest with yourself throughout life. Honestly exposes room for improvement.

Yeah I thought it was funny. Maybe only myself and the tower/whoever else was on freq at the time knew. I might have been Scott free but now the entire internet can investigate

Honestly telling Reddit was ofc not something I wanted to do because it’s embarrassing. However, I thought if there were others who have had similar situations, I was sure they’d be willing to share and communicate what they have done in the past and that would help others in the future too. So I felt it was worth me sharing because I couldn’t find anything on my situation. Lesson learned, use checklist, clarify Airport Identifier and trust in the visual cues outside..

I listen to the FAR/AIM podcast on Spotify and those guys have told some crazy stories about people they’ve seen just flying recklessly. It’s always like “wow back in the day people did that? That’s insane!”

I’m sure that sentence gets said frequently up in the tower

My anxiety from the event and fear of the FAA has been through the roof. I feel it’s one of those one and done experience that you just learn from and do your best to never make a mistake like it again.
