I finally realized how isolated diving contracts can be

Long stints without shore leave are burning out good divers.

Remember months underwater without a single break.

Feel that deep in my bones. Got so used to the grind that taking five minutes felt like cheating. Your brain just rewires itself to think constant motion is normal, then you crash hard. The scary part is you don't even notice how fried you are until you finally stop.

Yeah that's brutal. Forced myself to schedule mandatory 10-min breaks every 2 hours, no excuses. Blocked them on my calendar like actual meetings.
