Hi, as title says, apologies if this is the wrong forum but wondered if anyone had any experience with getting a Class 1 after suffering from anxiety?

I had a class 2 which was suspended when I sought help from my GP after suffering from bad anxiety. I was on Mirtazipine for around a year and came off it around 6 months ago. I'm aware that this is likely way too soon to seek revalidation of my medical and I have been advised that I'm likely to need to go to Gatwick to see a CAA psychiatrist before I can be considered for a class 2 again.

Since coming off meds I've been doing really well, got a full time job after graduating, back out socialising even after going through a major breakup and generally feeling pretty damn positive. Since my partner was the one who didn't want me flying I'm even more keen to pursue my dreams (cheesy I know).

I know that I'll be advised to speak to my AME but I'm really interested in hearing from anyone that has been on similar meds or experiences and has been successful in gaining a class 1 even if its with an OML.

I have a fair few years before I'll be starting proper training since I'm self-funding from my own wages so ill be around 32ish when starting ATPLs.

Any advice gratefully recieved! If there's a will, there's a way, hopefully.
