MarkTL 0 #1 March 9, 2009 Does this happen to anyone else? I jumped 4 times on Saturday and next day.. I was so depressed all I could think about was jumping, I stayed in my room most of the day just upset. Im around 40 jumps already and this happens after every time I jump. Do you grow out of this?Live life with no regrets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyBoyd 0 #2 March 9, 2009 Your profile indicates you have 26 jumps. If this is accurate, you are still getting a huge adrenaline rush from every jump. It is natural to feel a bit of a psychological let-down after the adrenaline rush goes away. If it is hitting you so hard that you are not able to leave your home the next day, this is not natural, and it is possible you are having more signficant emotional issues. I am not a doctor, and I would not presume to tell you what to do about this. But to answer your question, that much of a let-down after jumping is most definitely not a normal thing.

SARLDO 0 #3 March 9, 2009 NO - I have been unable to jump for various reasons for a couple of weeks now and although I wouldn't call it depressed, i'm definately not in the best of moods lately. I was really upset this weekend as I had to forego the TDS Boogie at Sebastian. "Always do right.

wrightskyguy 1 #5 March 9, 2009 I get depressed every time I jump on dives that Larry organizes, but it's probably not the same thing. John Wright World's most beloved skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanutgallery 0 #10 March 9, 2009 I used to get that, it does go away. Though after not jumping for 2 months due to CT winter, I went to the holiday boogie in Eloy, major depression upon return home. I used to have a handle on life, but it broke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #11 March 9, 2009 Don't blame CT weather for not jumping... I don't think CPI's been closed more than 1 or 2 weekends since last fall. I can't even imagine taking a winter off anymore. I'd go nuts. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peanutgallery 0 #13 March 9, 2009 you're right, plenty of people jump at CPI all winter, I choose not to. money is tight and i'd rather save it for better, more enjoyable conditions. I will get up there for a hop n pop every once in a while to keep the edge off. But even if I was jumping here all winter, coming back from Eloy still would have depressed me, it was freakin' awesome there!I used to have a handle on life, but it broke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilotdave 0 #15 March 9, 2009 Yep, I was at Eloy for nationals. Not quite as fun as the holiday boogie, but I wasn't excited to leave. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
