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?

Things usually tend to turn around again eventually.....sometimes it takes time....talk to Sam Perry about his back problems (you can send him a private message perhaps)....he went through a similar period of depression as well....Many others here have also gone through something similar....and it is always painful to endure this kind of thing but they have all pulled through o.k. in the end....Paul Smith is another example....as well as many others....Hang in there though....We are all pulling for you if that helps.

How true, just 15 months ago, I was in such pain that I would start the morning just sobbing, and I could not sleep in my bed, because I could not straighten up, had to sleep in a recliner chair.
It was VERY depressing, but I worked through it, and so can you!
