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?
Yes, you are part of the team. Injured reserve, you can call yourself.
Also, remember, sometimes people say things, and either a person can take it the wrong way or maybe it does not come out the way they mean.
My advise is to think that this person meant well, and not take it badly. You are at a sensitive point right now, and are apt to take things wrong. And even if she meant it meanly, throw it away, it is not worth bothering yourself about it. You are an injured athlete it happens.
At Illinois we had a basketball player on the bench last year that broke his hand. He was one of the most prominent people cheering on the bench at the National championships. He did not dress, but he was there on the bench, in a cast, and he is turning out to be one of the team leaders this year. He was always part of the team, injured or not.
If you have family you are close to, now might be a good time to give them a call, just to hear them. Sometimes things like that can be a great comfort.
