Default Re: Anyone struggle with Anxiety?

Prozac has helped me a lot with work related anxiety.

Speaking of planes, I was returning from an island off Brazil's north coast a few years ago and took a small plane rather than the bumpy boat that had brought me over.

I was sitting by the wing window when the right engine began smoking and we had to do an emergency landing and evacuate the plane in a hurry while fire trucks doused the plane with white foamy stuff as the engine was burning. We were in a remote wooded area about 1 mile from the airport we were trying to return to and the pilot managed to put the 8 passenger twin prop in a field.

There was a row of ambulances waiting and thank God they weren't needed.

It was a very bumpy landing and the scariest day of my life, but I have flown at least 100 times since.
