So I don't know...these past few weeks I've been feeling pretty blue. I thought I might go talk to someone at my student counseling center about it...but I was just wondering...could this be related to my back injury? I'm in pain pretty much all the time. I mean sometimes I hvae good times where I don't feel much pain at all, but most of the time there's at least a little bit.
Along with that I've been sad pretty much all the time...sometimes there are bright spots..but mostly it's just dull. I'm even down about getting back into the water nowadays....which just doesn't seem right given how much I like to swim....
Any ideas?

Well I made an intake appointment at the counseling center today. It's for next week. I guess at this appointment they screen me for things and then determine what kind of care I'll get.....I hope something good comes from this.
The other day one of my teammates said something to me that sent me into a rather downward spiral. I don't think she ment it in any insulting way, and I didn't confront her about it at the time...but it really hurt.
We were talking in the locker room before a practice - I was getting ready to go do my rehab, and biking/dryland training (that I substitute for swimming right now) and she was getting ready for regular practice. She asked about the status of my MRI and how long before I would be back in the water...and how I was doing.
After, she casually said something like "Yeah....because you can't really swim right now...so it's more like you're the team's manager..."
I don't know why...but that really hurt. I'm working very hard to get healthy...and I'm still a member of the team...even if I can't swim.....right?
