Re: Injury Induced Depression
For sure max! The injury pain, loss of strength, and other things alone can make you depressed. It is vicious cycle, the pain alone from the injury can cause the depression and then the depression can cause more pain. Its our lovely endocrine system that is greatly affected by both. I hope things get better and believe me, I feel your pain.Veritas Vos LiberabitComment

Re: Injury Induced Depression
Definitely can cause depression -- been there...done that...got the stupid t-shirt. Best thing to do, is stay active. You might not be able to lift or stay with your training routine, but it doesn't mean you can't take up another form of activity that doesn't exacerbate the injury. For example, swimming, cycling, squatting, rowing, etc... be creative.

Re: Injury Induced Depression
Injuries suck. No doubt about it. It affects your life. Ya, stay active and keep control of your thoughts as best ya can. Attitude affects how fast we heal and it is tough to keep a healing mindset when we are in painComment

Re: Injury Induced Depression
The loss of routine can effect you also. If possible still go to the gym. Hel others that need it and stay busy without hurting yourself. Main thing is seek and follow dr advice. You are issued one body so take care of it.Comment

Re: Injury Induced Depression
Fuzo still went to the gym everyday after all his surgeries. he would find something to do even if it was just ride the bike. I think just being in there helped himVeritas Vos LiberabitComment

Re: Injury Induced Depression
Plus, its a time when your nutrition should be more dialed in than ever. Loading up on the good supplements and getting loads of nutrients that your body needs to heal. Depression can lead to poor nutrition which leads to more depression and so on until you feel totally like shit.Comment
