Hi there everyone .
Im a Wave3 freediver , currently undergoing a breakdown full of frustration and doubts about the sport , and my place on it ...
I have been stuck on progress for weeks . In my Wave 1 I was able to do 25m CWT very comfortably . Months later , and already in Wave3 , Im stuck in the same levels ( 27/28m ) but with a huge increase in discomfort .
I don't enjoy my dives so much anymore , I go down stressed , I feel I'm going to run out of air constantly which didn't even happen in my Wave1 ) . I Equalize way worse , I relax way worse , I get way more frustrated after every session ...
Today has been a turning point . I prepared for my dive , went down , and started having contractions after 15 seconds. This is is the first time ever I experience this . I came up , completely astonished , did my recovery , took my time , relaxed , went down again and.... CONTRACTIONS again after 10 seconds. I was having contractions at 10m depth!
My STA is almost 4:30m , my DYN is 100m BiFins , and 75m for NoFins .
I am absolutely lost . I don't know what is going on, why am I getting more stressed now , why am I not enjoying anymore the sessions , why depth feels suddenly so incredibly uncomfortable .... And the last thing that got me devastated , why am I suddenly experiencing contractions after a 10seconds dive ?! Last session was just me floating in the boey devastated not knowing what to do .
Has anyone had any similar experiences? I just had to tell someone about it , hoping for a helping hand , and some advice in case someone went through a similar situation...
Thanks for reading .
