> But then I went from happy and hopeful to completely crushed...You can't fly if you're on antidepressants or if you have anything in your medical history which indicates a bipolar disorder. I guess I'm somewhere on the bipolar spectrum, but I'm not completely convinced of that.

I'll ask my dad about this, hes a pilot. Here in the UK there is a list of drugs the CAA will allow a pilot to take and still fly. For example temazepam is ok, but zopiclone is not (the night before obviously not whilst your flying!). I would be very surprised if a history of bipolar illness prevented you from flying, mental illness is very prevalent these days including amoungst flight staff. A pilot must have regular health checks so they would cover whether you are actually sick from a mental illness, not actually sick and I think you would be ok to fly. This is just conjecture though I will ask my dad and I guess the rules for your country may be different too.

Dont lost hope, Bunny
