Glad to hear things are going well sandbagsteve, (btw I love the username) please keep us posted.
In my case I have suffered mainly social anxiety, flying has helped big time with this as there is suddenly a whole load of people I know with a shared passion. Flying has also increased my confidence in general, and I know of at least two other pilots who have had there lives completely turned around for the better by flying. It's not just another hobby, it's something very, very special indeed
