Is it possible that an injury to a strength athlete is capable of inducing depression or depression like symptoms. Thoughts.
Yes sr when my went to crap few mths ago I have been up and down with 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.
it absolutely can max. their are tons of articles on this very subject on elitefts. i hate getting hurt and having set backs. i wouldnt say i get depressed as much as i get pissed off because 99% of the time i have gotten hurt i could have prevented it
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.
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 pain
Oh yeah Big time. I went through it when I had all my surgeries not being able to work out is horrible
hell yes! i bombed out of a meet (not even a injury) and dragged my ass around like a beat pup for 2 month's
It's a lifestyle to me kinda like a job u love when it's taken away for a while it sucks
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.
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 him
It can def. get to you. I went through that for a while when i was still injured so bad from my wreck. I still have bad injuries but ive git better enough to be happy with it.
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.
No doubt. Been there and done that several times!Quote:
