[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 667666, member: 14557"] This is somewhat true. Though during his more self-aware times he has been able to see the difference and has explained that at certain time period he was happy but sport was giving him hard time or that other time period he was depressed and very anxious but still playing well. But my best guess that any self awareness is out of the window currently. I was afraid, very afraid. Especially as soon as I realised it really was more a suicide attempt and less the reckless accident he tried to claim it was first. Of course it makes a difference that mine was very lucky to survive. He fell to open stream from the bridge when it was -20 F outside. Just getting out of the water was far from certain even though he is very athletic but while quick stream was keeping it open the edges were of course frozen. Getting off without icepicks was already really lucky. And it was very early morning or late night and he had 10 or 15 minutes after he got to dry land to find shelter or help before hypothermia would had made him so disorientated he wouldn't had been able to act rational. And it wasn't a busy place. He again got extremely lucky that there was this dog walker who called help and helped him stay focused and not to freeze out before the ambulance was there. It got way too close. While situation right now is not good, it is impossible to say where we would be without sports. It is high stress occupation, that is certain. But it has also provided him supports he could not have gotten from anywhere else. And motivation to try to work it out. And to be very callous: If this is it. If he is having onset of something that will disable him for life, it has provided him with a safety net he could not have gotten from anywhere else. He is under contract. If he is unable to play for medical reasons, he will be paid his full salary for the length of contract by insurance company and his team. That will give him amble time to regroup. If that doesn't work out and he continues to be disabled, all his future disability benefits will be based on his incomes during that time. And while he doesn't earn that type of money people are likely to think when they think pro athletes, his pay is similar to many established professionals. If it happens that has onset of illness that will disable him, that makes quite a difference to the situation where he would end up disabled while being a student or working in low income job. Around that, yes. [/QUOTE]
