Striker, my advice was based not on you having a panic attack or fumbling around in the air for 30 minutes without being fully in control and potentially placing lots of other people in danger. It was based on the folowing statements made by you.
but once on the ground, I vowed never to set foot in a light aircraft again
and it's turned flying into a chore rather than something that I enjoyed.
If flying is not "floating your boat" then do something else.
I am hoping you have studied the Human Factors & Performance aspect of the PPL, but you still got in an aircraft as PIC after an argument. I can see how an old hand might do that but since you are still in training, the warnings about such dangers ought to be fresh in your mind.
I would say that I am uneasy with heights...................as I love going up tall buildings on my travels, although I do feel a bit dizzy when doing it.
I don't enjoy it as much as I did before.
The picture you are painting is not that of a born Aviator, that's for sure. I'm no trick cyclist, but a blind man running for a bus can see you are not suited to this.
I think that most of us commit aviation because we enjoy it, I am struggling to see what your motivation for doing this to yourself might be.
Don't give it up for me, give it up for yourself.
