Pilots that decided to hang it up, how’d things turn out?

For context, I’m a PPL and have dreamed of being a pilot since I was a kid. However, I’m dealing with some mental health stuff and am seriously considering starting an SSRI. I know that’s not necessarily the nail in the coffin for me flying, but is a significant hurdle.

Curious to hear from those of you who’ve hung it up, for medical or other reasons, how’d it go? Are you happy with your decision? Any sage wisdom you could share?
