After spending the last few years trying to find some antidepressant or mood stabilizer that would help me feel better I thought I finally found my answer. My friends and I went skydiving. I took to it in a big way. They all went a few times and were done with it. Unfortunately, on my fifth dive, and my first one not in "tandem", I managed to land really hard and crushed about 3 vertebrae and broke my sternum.
I've been out of work now for about two months. I'm still obsessed with skydiving and have planned where and when I will continue my training. (Arizona in March or so)
Some think I'm out of my mind, but my shrink doesn't seem to think there's a problem. A few people seem to understand.
It'll be a good feeling when I finally do land gracefully.
Just thought I'd share. I don't think there's a treatment or a cure for this addiction, not that I'd want one.
