Oh, fantastic - someone in my age group (I'm almost 47). I never meant for this to be some sort of a life-changing event. This feeling has really thrown me. I just hope I can get a little normalcy back. You know, just happy normal life with a little jumping from time to time maybe. Is that possible, or does it have to become an addiction like so many people are saying? Thanks so much for your comments.

Thanks so much for that thoughtful and meaningful response - it helps much. I never planned for this to become a hobby. I just figured it would be a one-time experience to always be remembered. In no way did I expect these feelings. Good luck with AFF. My husband is considering that as well. Not sure if I'd ever get to that point, but I'm thinking about tandem progression. Hoping to make our second jump this weekend. Again, thanks. Your words are truly appreciated.

Hey there! I'm new to skydiving. My husband and I took our first jump about 10 days ago. Absolutely loved it. It is something we had been wanting to do for years. My father went to his grave always wanting to have jumped but never did. I didn't want to make that same mistake. So glad I did it and will probably do it again soon. Here's my big question.... are any of you who are new to sky diving experiencing "post-jump depression?" Does the rest of your life now seem boring and sort of meaningless? Please understand I'm a normally happy and content person, don't get the blues at the drop of a hat. I've gotten some valuable feedback in the womens forum and am looking for more from other newbies. Thanks!
