EricP Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 I am still tripping out on how I have little to no adrenaline response. Yesterday a very sudden accident happened right in front of me on the freeway while driving that I could have easily been a part of if I didn't react appropriately. Thankfully no one was hurt... Anyway I simply hit the breaks and maneuvered around the crashing cars as needed completely calm and emotionless while everyone else was freaking out! I guess it can be good to be "calm" however I do miss "feeling" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtracterall Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 How long have you been off? I wonder what would happen if you went sky diving a bunch of times in a row. Like would it help get the adrenaline juices get flowing leading to a faster recovery. Wish we could try that! Glad you are okay! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricP Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 8mo so it's still a little early... Yeah, I thought of that as well as buying another dirt bike. I used to ride a lot and had some great thrills & times off road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyStupid Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 or join a fight club? i was in an accident not too long ago, and i also remembering being strangely calm as it was happening. i think maybe these kinds of things happen so quickly, there isn't time to process or for adrenaline to kick in (until after the incident). for what it's worth, it took me a year of recovery to enjoy playing videogames again, and i think it has to do with this exact same thing. i didn't feel the rush and excitement of it, and then one day i did. nowadays, i actually have to stop myself from playing at least an hour before bed cause i get so worked up (: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricP Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I almost bought a gaming console for myself for Xmas however I decided to wait until I was a little more productive in life. Not sure if I would get sucked in just yet or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I've oddly had identical thought process Eric lol I almost bought a dirt bike a few months ago because on that thing you have to feel some sort of excitement but I didn't. Then I went and bought an Xbox one about two months ago and I'll play in the evenings for an hour or so most nights. I usually don't feel that into it but once I start I'll kinda get into it sometime more than others. Still thinking about that dirt bike though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricP Posted February 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 That's awesome! Maybe I'll start gaming first... I always had a heave foot so to speak so being in my 40's now pushing my limits to find adrenaline and possibly getting hurt won't be a good mix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
