Chronic pain and depression?

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?

    Hi Hilary. Don't let your teammates comment bring you down. Whenever someone says something to me that hurts my feelings, I always ask myself if the person was intentionally trying to hurt my feelings. The answer is almost always no, unless you are having an argument or the person is just a bee-yotch. In that case, consider the source. You are just feeling extra sensitive right now and probably any other day you would have just laughed it off. Try throwing yourself into your school work to distract yourself, if you can. Take it day by day, hour by hour, even minute by minute if need be.
