Okay, seeing as my name was mentioned earlier in the thread I suppose I should rear my ugly head.
I got caught! As to why I got caught, I still have no "one" particular reason. Hindsight tells me various reasons, all of which on there own wouldn't have bent me. It was the multiple small things that got me bent.
You, yes "YOU" will not admit to yourself that you're bent. It takes people round about you to start dealing with your carcass. We all do a sport that we love and in the back of our brains will not admit that it can really hurt us, even when we know we are hurt. It's human nature!
I have spent, as some of you know, the past week dealing with a good friend and trying to get her into the pot. She wouldn't admit to herself that she was bent and it took someone "round about" her to get her there.
Denial is a big part of getting bent. For as much as we look after ourselves, we should also look for small differences in those round about our personalities/complaints.
We are all under the impression that when we get bent we go to the chamber. Problem solved! Believe me, the after phscological effects are even worse. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why a thing I love so much can hurt me so bad.
And I'm glad to get that out my system!!!!!!!
Safe diving "all"
