Im so depressed I need to wait. I am getting my first rig this fall. A new Javelin. Im going to retrain with my own rig.
I am going back to a very depressed mental state I was in before skydiving brought me back from it. I know now I can't live without it.My life is so horrible right now.I am so thankful I have skdiving to save me.

WOW...Thats a pretty hard core statement..........I must say though myself skydiving is something I love , have a lot of respect for, and await every weekend. But skydiving is what I do. ITs not who I am!!!! With or without it I'll still be the same person. But hey to each there own!!!!!

I'd never found such peace in my heart and soul as I did the first time I jumped.

why are you depressed?

Oftentimes it's a medical condition. Circumstances just amplify it. Of course, being a medical condition, it can be treated with medicines. "Zero Tolerance: the politically correct term for zero thought, zero common sense."

My boyfriend could die. Im still in school, Im not getting my rig until this fall. Im giving my kidney to my boy/f.(which was my idea and I want to) I hope it saves him. My parents took my little girl away from me. I never eat. Im getting so skinny. I miss jumping . I just can't focus on jumping now.I will return, and I will come back strong.,

freebird... depression is nothing to mess around with. I lost a friend to suicide because he was depressed and didn't get help. I don't want anyone to have to deal with the pain his death caused us...
Please please please... talk to your doctor, talk to a counselor, talk to a shrink.... talk to someone who can help...
for your sake, your friend's sake, your family's sake, your daughter's sake - make a phone call tomorrow and get some help.
Life should be good, even when you can't jump. There is hope. Get some help.
pull and flare,

Uh... after a major surgery you will be grounded for probally 4 months at the min. Complications during surgy are even longer. If you are on meds for depression or anything, Doctors get real leary about pulling perfectly good organs if you need meds to stay stable. I'm surprized your boyfriend is a perfect match for your organs. It's usually rare to find a perfect match outside one's blood family.
As for skydiving... if you can't live without it, you need to get help and straighten your life out before coming back, if you decide to after getting your life back and off meds (if needed)

I'm not trying to sound mean here but skydiving should be the last thing on your mind right now if your having all those problems. Your first priority should be your little girl. I mean I dont know whats going on but sounds like you need to get some help for yourself before you can do any good for others and I hate to say it but if you dont eat and suffer form malnutrition they wont take your kindney cause you'll be to weak to be opperated on !

Hey,
I know what you're going through, and skybytch is right. You really need to get the depression treated. It's a sickness that's hurting you just like your bf's kidney problem is hurting him.
E-mail me if you want to talk; I unfortunately have a lot of experience with this. I know why you feel like you "need" skydiving, but you can be fine without it during the layoff.
Oh, and Phree -- you can have a great skydiving career even if you're downing antidepressents. It's the depressed people who aren't being treated who shouldn't be jumping.

Being an O blood type has little to do with organ donation. The genetic history of the donor and reciepient must be close enough that the body thinks that its its own organ. i.e. A person of Middle Eastern decent's organs are not near as compatible with a Native American's organs as another Native American's.
If you are serious about donation and you are the same genetic type, you'll probally be placed on strong meds to get the organs ready for removal. What type of surgons have you consulted about kidney removal? There is a lot more then just a snip, snip to kidney removal. If either of your kidney has scar tissue you are not eligible to donate any more due to possibility of kidney failure. (My father only has one, well informed on the signs of failure/donation since I was a small kid)
Anti-depresents wreck havok on the kidneys and the entire body in terms of altering the chemistry. I know my Grandfather was unable to donate to my father upon his death due to the type of meds he was on.
And Jess.... I know of a Skydiver that is depressed and seems to forget to take their meds everyonce and a while.... I'm always scared about that person jumping. Being on Med's while jumping is fine as long as someone else knows what you are on and knows how to look for the signs of missed doses/over doses.

free,
first off, youre doing an amazing thing just by considering donating a kidney.
second, youre doing an amazing thing just by saying yes to that consideration.
third, you just do amazing things! recognize them! ackowledge them.. get help for the parts that arent that amazing.. It only takes one piece for the puzzle to start to make sense... after that you just need to figure out the rest of it, and it does get easier.

The coordinator said me having o blood type is a plus. Im starting my testing next week at a good hospital here in Houston. Im getting my hopes up about being a good candidate. I also need to relize I may not be. But Im so willing to give him a kidney, I will trade mine for one that does match his if I have to. I pray we will be a good match. He will be on anti-regection drugs to help.
