I almost DIED...
...in my mind.
Today I had my first flying lesson, which I put off for like 2 years. Everything started off fine. Preflight checks and runup was fine. I was perfectly calm. It wasn't until immediately after takeoff that I was overcome with major anxiety. I wondered if I made a huge mistake doing this and, once that seemingly imminent panic attack occurred, I was going to have to tell the instructor to just go around and land while I sat there having heart attack. Then I thought about what necro would do, which was obviously say something about jews and just be a faggot in general. So I told myself to not be like him and instead focus on the flying rather than what the lizard brain wanted me to think about, which apparently was "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". That feeling lasted roughly a minute and then I finally calmed down more or less to be able to function for the roughly 1 hour of flying time. There was a lot to take in, so it was still kind of intense, but I did it all without sobbing and fainting, so that was nice. I'm scheduled for 3 more flights this week, so I hope that situation doesn't repeat itself.
