THAT could explain the foul mood I have been in lately.

Been about 3 weeks for me.
 
I've been told if I keep doing it I'll go blind.

I'll just do it until I need glasses. After that I'll get prescription lenses.
 
Don't let the government find out, they'll make it illegal :p !!!!!
 
At last an explanation for my insanity! I guess if I have to be addicted to something it might as well be diving. :)
 
fisheater:
It's NOT addictive!

I can quit anytime I want.

In fact, I've quit hundreds of times. I call those "surface intervals.".

Nobody likes a quitter.

What's really hysterical about this to me is that I have been saying for six years, as a bit of a joke, that I'm sure that nitrogen does something to serotonin levels in the brain, because it appears to act like an antidepressant for me and a number of my friends. Turns out it may not be serotonin, but it clearly does funny things to dopamine, which is just as bad. I was right, and somebody went and proved it!
