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?

All the best of luck to you. I hope you find relief very soon. Pain and depression do often tend to co-occur. If you have clinical depression- you may be helped by medication for the physical symptoms (increase/decrease in appetite, energy decrease, fatigue, changes in need for sleep, agitation or lethargy etc.) I'm sure your counselor do a good evaluation of your needs. The cognitive struggles can be greatly helped with counseling. I admire that you are taking the initiative to get the help that you need.
