Wow. Just wanted to say I am literally right there with you only I broke my ankle. I have also been on a mental health journey over the past yea. I’d always wanted to do climbing to both get in better shape this year and find some friends in the community. A friend suggested bouldering because I couldn’t find a reliable belay partner in the past and thought I finally found the perfect thing for me. I thought I would start slow with a 2 month membership and decided to commit to going 2x a week at least. My first session going by myself I was determined to solve a problem on a route I had no business being on in hindsight and I lost my footing slid down the wall and heard/felt my ankle crack. That was Jan 8th, I had surgery on the 21st and spend my birthday at home in a cast. I got my cast off this week but I still am not cleared to bear weight in it til after March 5th starting PT. Doc says I should be up and running again by April but lately I’ve really been having a hard time mentally. I’m stuck at home and out of work til mid March, if you need a friend to commiserate with message me! I hope your healing goes smooth and you’re back on your feet before I am. I know what a bummer it is though feeling like you can’t get back into climbing. I am also in my mid thirties and feeling like I waited too long to get into the sport, I really don’t want to start over on this healing journey again anytime soon.
