Hi. I'm Matt.
I'm an Active Duty helicopter pilot and have been recently diagnosed with PTSD, and prescribed Zoloft. Obviously, flying is taking a backseat for the foreseeable future, if not forever, but I gotta get my life right first. I've held on to flight status while NOT dealing with my outside-work issues, and the chickens have come home to roost.
I'm completely unsure of how my flight status and career will be affected, especially with PTSD in my diagnosis file. I've finally resigned myself to the fact that maybe it's best for me to not worry about my career. I need to get right first.
This forum is incredible. I'm on Day 3 of Zoloft, have one KICKING headache, and am waiting for the benefits to kick in and wonder what they will feel like. I worry a lot about my career and what will happen, so much that I wonder what I'd do if they kick me out.
Pretty much, I'm in a sea of self-doubt, am waiting on this stupid f@#$ing headache to leave, and am hoping for good thoughts to arrive soon.
Any help/insight would be so greatly appreciate it.
Matt
