THE INJURY BLUES

I've been injured and my entire life is falling off track. Running keeps me regular. It relieves stress and keeps my emotions steady and predictable. This sounds really gay, but I'm so edgy and up and down, like a woman. People piss me off and I piss people off. I'm not attracted to my girlfriend...my sex drive is gone. What do I do? Anybody else have this problem?

Masturbate and sing a sad song at the same time...thats what I do....oh wait, I never get injured.

Drop acid trust me it changed my life.

Cross train for your injury and dump your gf. Everything else will fall into place.

there's nothing like cross training like a banshee to make you feel better. Spend 2-3 hours a day beating your brains out against an eliptical or pool wall, feeling utterly miserable about what a worthless person you are, and the rest of the day becomes magically better.

gets all the self-loathing out at once - better than being pissed off all day.

1) Get some Counciling. Just try it for 3-6 months.

2) Talk to a friend not the message board

3) Go see a doctor look into depression

4) Buy a bike or do something different (like swimming)

5) Travel

6) Take some mushrooms

I started growing marijuana when I was sidelined for eight months with an ACL tear. It was a very fulfilling endeavor.

I feel your pain dude! I've spent more time injured than running the last 2 years, the longest stretch being 8 months. Cross-training is definatly the way to go, personally pool-running/elliptical was way too boring so I bought I bike off ebay and just rode that everyday. Really started to enjoy it plus it helped keep me fit.

wow.... hahaha that is one amazing post.

try sleeping with a hooker, then quit running, next, dump your lame unatractive girlfriend (if she really does exist and is not just something you added to your story). Now the final part...quit running and try something with less impact.

you'd bang my girlfriend, i assure you...i'm crazy, i really am..trying to get back on it

Maybe Sleazy would bang anything with a vagina, but that still doesn't make your gf attractive.

When a runner can't run it has the same effect on you as a bereavement.

When we're subjected to this sort of horrible loss we all go through the same process, we experience:

It's a tough sport.
