Broken Collar Bone and Depressed
One week ago today I broke my collar bone riding my mountain bike, the docs say I can not ride for 6 weeks. Today, seven days after the accident, I found myself depressed and realized it was because I am not riding. I know I love my bike, the first thing I asked when I finaly was able to get up after the fall was if my bike was ok, but to be depressed, is this normal? I am going to ride a bike at the gym until I can get back out there, but I am worried about my mental health until then. Anyone ever gone through this?
Sorry to hear about your injury
I can't relate but can totally see where the depression would come from. I cheered all through high school and college and had serious ankle injuries. My doctor told me to take my senior year off of cheering. No way! Taped before every game and spent the rest of the weekend on ice. SOmetimes crutches Monday at school.... I would have been near suicidal had you taken my sport away from me!
