You can get "real and exstreme" without pain. I know how y ou feel. Last time I felt like that I did somthing spontanous. I called in sick to work and drove a couple hours to an amusment park. I went skydiving once, rockclimbnig. Get out and do somthing out side your confort zone.
At least Thats what help for me, but its worth a try right?
