As someone who has been in a similar position I know that anxiety can be the worst in any walk of life but in this profession can be a tough one to face up to.
But that said you've taken the biggest and hardest step which is identifying the problem to yourself and bringing it to your own attention with a view to tackling it and more importantly seeking help and feedback from others. This in itself is a huge milestone, believe me. The worst you can do is bottle it up as it can literally take over your life.
The most important part firstly is to talk it through, maybe with someone on a personal level first and just take a simple step back as others have suggested and taking a moment to realise that since the feelings started you have performed countless flights without issue and left many a SLF walking away at their destinations with smiles on their faces.
Sh!t happens and it's easy to beat yourself up and worry about when it will next happen but the reality is that in a lifetime of flying it'll happen less than a handful of times, and when it does it mostly doesn't really matter (so long as you're not upside down
). So focus on the good parts of flying, the enjoyable parts, because if you love what you do then they are, and should be, the vast majority of your time.
