Hey North,
Someone once told me that the second jump is the most scary. On the first you don't know what to expect. On the second you do, and on the third, you're getting a little used to it.
I've never jumped. I have flown though, and the feeling of freedom that I got from having three degrees of freedom is amazing. I imagine that having nothing but the canopy to obstruct your view must be incredible.
If you can do it safely, then by all means do so. If your back has healed enough so that it won't be damaged more, then go for it. If it hasn't though, then please consider the cost of a jump. Losing the use of your legs, or worse, would not help your depression at all. If you can't jump again, then you have that memory of doing it, and doing a solo jump. You've done far more than most of us. I applaud you.
Dee.
