hello /adv/, this is my first post and first visit to this place. I'm an /out/ist, I hike. Last year I was on military orders and one day from coming home I found out my wife was cheating on me. I don't know what to do. I feel like I hike now because im trying to run away from my problems. Like I hike not for the fun of it yet for the closure, like if I can get over physical miles and mountains I can get over my mental ones. It sucks, I don't want to lose a passion due to a lost lover. What do I do?

Keep hiking bro. The time alone has allowed you to think about this bitch and if hiking makes you feel good seeing the sights and climbing obstacles others can't then keep doing it. Fuck it one day you might climb killamanjiro or Everest.
There was once a man who had climbed an incredibly tall legendary mountain. So tall that noone could conceive the achievement or its height. So he kept on climbing mountains said to be even taller so that he could make people realise his achievements and greatness. Eventually he stopped climbing, made the mountains his home and became a demon.
I suppose there was no point in that story i apologize haha.
Ever thought about hiking in groups? There's clubs and events that like to host group hikes that I'm sure you would be interested. It can make hiking more mentally healthy.

I hate my life, but I love to go /out/. I enjoy doing very difficult missions because I have to concentrate on the route, safety, weather etc and for that time I'm not thinking about how much I hate myself. if for some reason I am unable to go /out/ for a period of time, I slip into a deep dangerous depression.

Thats rough op i feel for ya. How long has it been since u left her. Only time can really heal you in a situation like that. Have you thought about a pup as an /out/ m8. What occupies your thoughts when u slip into that sort of depression?
The whole meme of "Oh hes LITERALLY RUNNING AWAY FROM HIS PROBLEMS" is stupid bullshit used as a joke from romantic comedies. Normies don't often think deeply enough to realize that shit was just a plot device and here it is showing its ugly face as a colloquialism turned psychological folklore.
Nigger, you're doing it right. Be sure to see a therapist/psychiatrist. Obviously you're already seeking help and you have a healthy as fuck hobby. You're on your way already bro. Join a hiking group and get a hiking qt
