Is It Time to Seek Help?
Flight attendants often struggle with substance use and mental health conditions, but donât know how to seek proper help. Long hours coupled with a high pressure environment, difficult passengers, and isolation from friends and family can be highly challenging to cope with after a while. Though not much research has been done on this subject, we do know that a large percentage of flight attendants who seek treatment for addiction also struggle with symptoms of mental health conditions (International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction). Many individuals may know they need professional support, but are afraid of consequences such as job loss, reputation damage, and financial challenges.
Some signs a flight attendant may benefit from a treatment program include:
- Inability to keep up with professional and/or personal responsibilities
- Using substances while working
- Experiencing frequent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or irritability
- Unexplained mood swings
- Using substances to cope with stress
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when substance use stops
- Isolating from friends and family
- Lack of interest in work and hobbies
- Suicidal thoughts and/or self-harm
