You need to man up and quit throwing yourself a pity party IMO.

I don’t understand the emphasis on flying. Just make a decision to never fly again and it sounds like instantly your life will improve.

My talk with Jesus this morning was about his pain he went thru which I know was greater then what I was in this morning. In seconds I was feeling a bit better.

Yes but now I feel like since my anxiety associates flying with potential death it gets worried when I get on a flight. So that automatically activates the anxiety. I will say with the Prednisone I felt pretty much fine on a flight though I still worry about what would happen if I happened "again".

Why not?
Because then I'll never get to see places I've always wanted to see. I'm always had a nomadic type personality that loves traveling. Traveling is not just an activity for me, it's who I am. That's why I'm so depressed, I feel like the biggest part of my very being has been taken away from me.
I built my whole life around being able to travel and in the last 2 1/2 years it's been shattered. It's why I never wanted kids, it's why I've always been very hesitant to date or even consider being married. I love the idea of being able to spontaneously jet away somewhere and right now I can't do it.
Because not being able to experience other places and other cultures would kill me inside. I still have so many places I want to go to. I want to go to back to Europe, I want to go to Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Africa, Germany, Poland, everywhere. The idea of not being able to travel is too hard for me to even comprehend and it causes me to be deeply depressed.

I am sorry you are in such pain. Your life is a blessing. You are suffering. I am also suffering albeit in different and probably lesser ways. Let me offer you some ancient philosophical advice borrowed from the Stoics/Buddhists.
It is in God's hands. Give up your illusion of control. You have no control over your ultimate fate. You never did. You can only control this moment. Right now.
Stop beating yourself up. Your internal conversation is everything. How you talk TO yourself is more important than how you talk about yourself, or how the world talks about you. You are ok. You aren't defective. You can beat this.
Your loneliness is curable. In the end, even if surrounded by family, we are still on a one-man path. We all die alone. Even if surrounded by others it is a solitary journey. If you need friends, reach out. Compassionate people are everywhere.
Ask yourself WHY you have allowed yourself to become so attached to your suffering. Is it possible you've succumbed, even a little bit to self-pity? If so, it's completely understandable. But have you kind of watered that suffering like a garden? Has the idea that you are suffering become your identity ? Let that go.
Understand that happiness, while enjoyable, is fleeting. That's why we seek a MEANINGFUL life. Find the meaning in your life. What is important to you? What can you do to be proud of yourself ? What goals would you like to see yourself reach? Work daily on those. That way you can still have a meaningful life if you are suffering and unhappy on that particular day.
Start early tomorrow morning making it the best day possible. One day at a time. Each day better than the last. Intentionally and mindfully,-like a discipline.

You have time and an entire internet. Research how to overcome anxiety. There are a million ways that don't include prescribed medication. Do the same thing with depression. No matter how stupid the suggestions seem (listen to uplifting music, sit outside in the sun, watch puppies play, volunteer to rock babies in the NICU, and ESPECIALLY doing things that help others wanting nothing in return) if you do them they will work. Get outside of yourself and your own head.

Hang in there. Life's a bitch, but you have to try and find things that make you happy. I suffer with pain daily, it's definitely taken it's toll, but exercise and eating right have helped me immensely. It can get better.

With all due respect that's a pretty arrogant thing to say. You have no problem flying. Truly think about it, what if you could never fly again? What if you could never visit some of the places you wanted to go to? What if you could hardly ever visit family again because you would have to drive and not fly?
Can you not see how limiting that would be? How small your world would become? It's not about the act of flying, it about the idea that without being able to fly my world becomes very very small. It's about what not being able to fly takes away from me.

Holding up a hand. Can't drive too. So if I want to go, I depend on others.
I'm out of this thread. Dude keeps making excuses.
Excuses are like assholes, everybody has one.

They didn’t even have planes 100 years ago. People have led great, adventurous lives for centuries. The ability to fly should have little impact on your life.

Allergies
Depression
Anxiety
GERD
Hemorrhoids

I'm not wading through 9 pages, and I'm sure this has already been said, but have you talked to your doctor? Asking about mental health is part of every single visit these days, so they can get you connected to someone to talk to or a prescription...all sorts of things.

Is what I'm saying really that radical? It's not the act of flying, I could care less about being jammed into a flying cattle car. It's about being able to truly be a part of the world. It's about being able to experience other countries, other cultures and make those a part of my life. It's about my world not just being some street that I live in. Can you not understand why I wouldn't want my world to just become small?
Again what if you were in my shoes and had had that incident? What would you do?
