Anyone know how to deal with injuries mentally?Going through it during a rough patch and it's really doing numbers on me. Lifting and running was the only thing I had.... Never really had this blend of depression and anger this bad before.
How did you hurt yourself?
>>76871716got too cocky on a lift
>>76871727what lift, assuming you haven't ended up in a damn wheelchair its literally a matter of time until you've recovered, your body wants to retvrn too, continue to give it the nutrients and rests it needs and you'll be back one day
>>76871696how bad is it?
>>76871716sprained my neck doing cock swallows
>>76871696One day at a time, u are going to be pissed at yourself and sad u cant progress just yet.There will be some crucial lesson here (even if its just getting used to injury sadness) but for now it's pointless tryna sugar coat it, just get on with your life outside of the gym & sport.
>>76871765>>76871795Deadlift, Herniated Disc. Doc says 3 weeks to a month off. Honestly I feel so angry and pointless fuck man.>>76871808Yeah... this isn't my first round of injuries but I'm going through a pretty bad time in my life and this was the straw. I've been pretty much laying in bed moping around. Don't even have energy or find any motivation to do anything anymore.
>>76871880Bro thats such an insignificant amount of time. Just stretch for now and wait. Mark the day of your return on the calendar and rest. You earned it and nothing is going to stop you from getting right back into form when youre healed. Hang in there anon, it's not forever.
>>76871880>deadliftUh were you rounding your back?, what I mean is, did you kind of know something was "off" before the injury happened, that you couldve avoided it? Or did the pain and subsequent injury come out of no where mid rep. Ngl this kinda scares me too but I like deadlifts too much to stop because its like the only lift im steadily progressing in
>>76871910It was my last set. 2nd rep felt a little twinge but I thought it would be fine before I do my last rep of the day. halfway through 3rd rep SKRTTT>>76871893really appreciate it mate but fuck this is such a huge downer. i'll get out of it i guess just need some time to cope. anything to do while im injured?
>>76871917fuck, fuck
>>76871880>>76871696Just do anything that helps your training and look at it as training on its own. Recovery is very important and everything is possible if you stick to it, I went through a year of recovery after ACL rupture + operation
>>76871917Just move any way you can. Try a little yoga. Resistance bike. A rolling stone gathers no moss and endurance is just as important as strength.
>>76871880how much were you diddling? if you don't mind sharing it with us.
