Definitely one of the crazier streams out of recent memory. Sucks that the OTS ended in a failure, but at least you learned some things that will (hopefully) make the next attempt easier. On a side note for myself - I think I probably would've been in the air sooner had I departed out of Lawrenceville VFR and then called for pop up IFR once airborne (got to practice that, as I always call for IFR on the ground), or if I had departed out of a different field.
This is the worst ive ever does as ATC. my brain was basically fried by the time i had the instructor take over. my heart rate was through the roof and i felt like something was going to happen that wasn't good. there were a lot of factors that compounded on top of each other to cause this failure, one of which was my management of charts on the other screen, which took up a lot of my time. next time, I will have a different way of managing them to help prevent that one downside to this OTS. My brain was so fried I went to bed almost right after this stream, where as normally, it would have been about 3 to 4 hours later. I then couldn't fall asleep until about 5 AM because every time i would kind of go to to sleep, i would wake up basically re-living the events that transpired that night as if they were real planes with real people. those moments are still playing in my head as a sort of PTSD. im not even sure when the next time I will control will be. ill get back on the horse eventually, but im not sure when

You were way too busy to be as quiet as you were. There was so much dead air and unneeded transmissions.

@@stw222streams It's just imaginary planes, dude. Don't let it get to you, keep a learning/improving mindset and lock in next time! You got this!
