What happened - I use to be andrenaline junkie

[warlockmaker]

I used to skydive, bungee off the highest towers, surf big waves. Well after almost 10 monhs on HRT i went to an extreme sports zipline place in Phuket. It was in a old  hardwood forest and there were 15 stations spanning over 2 kilometers. Check it out www.ziplinephuket.com. It was spectaular - high up in the trees, and these were huge and tall ancient hadwook trees. I would never have any fear in the past and this was easy by comparison to my other stuff. I genuinely got scared but my pride got me thru it. Has anyone had this shift from thrill seeking? I was wondering if alot of my thrillseeking was due to my very high T count before?

I've lost impulsivity by knocking out my T and I think that's meant losing myself in a adrenaline pumping moment isn't so easy.

Now that I think about what I'm doing, it's easier to see the danger.

Yes, very much the same. I used to be into a few real hair raising ( and dangerous ) extreme sports, some of which you've noted.

Actually it was shortly before HRT ( although strongly reinforced by HRT ), I lost interest in them completely, and felt that I didn't need to risk my life any further. It was a combination... I no longer needed adrenalin to feel ( after accepting myself as trans and starting to deal with it ), and fear around risking my new life took over.

Me too. Because I no longer seek that adrenaline high I have a built up race car that is in storage that I no longer have any use for.

I would chalk it up to what I call the 3D's; Diversion, Distraction, and Denial. Adrenaline is just like a drug. Just another way to shut the brain up, to stuff feelings.

28 years as a Paramedic/Firefighter (major adrenaline rush). "T" makes your brain mushy or something. I feel smarter with "E". Now when confronted by danger I do what everyone else does, RUN!

I used to love thrill rides at amusement parks, now, uhh, not so much apparently.   I also used to surf occasionally, now I don't ever need to go there again.

Gives a new meaning to E ticket ride.

Meh , Im actually a scardy cat...
Id never do bungee jumping or anyting and on the amusment parks I only ride the safe ones XD
Im even scared of that pirate ship they have in amusment parks, you know,,,last time I almost fell off for the love of god...XD

I actually wish I was kinda more brave when it comes to that kind of activities...

nah , It was never my thing either

[peky]

yeah, so I also expected that banishing the T and increasing the E would calm the beast....
but no the beast is still roaring...
I feel the need for speed! 

Hum, maybe I can use it as an excuse to get my E bumped up.. LOL
