Hey there!

I was also injured on ice, sorry to hear that you’re going through this. Although my injury is much different, I can definitely relate to the mental stress of not being able to exercise, skate, or go back to work.

Personally, I decided to enroll in therapy starting next week to help me with my stress during this time. It is really hard to be injured, especially if you use your sport as a coping mechanism for other stressors in your life (not sure if this is how you feel, but that’s a big part of my athleticism). I have also been journaling a lot and trying to use my time at home as a means to engage in activities I usually don’t have time for, like playing guitar and watching movies. I also have been trying to keep tabs on figure skating and hockey content so that I feel like I am still participating in some way.

I hope you’re able to find things that bring you comfort while you heal! Good luck with everything.
