ACL and personal life struggles.

Hey everyone,
I’m not even sure if this is the right place to post this, but I just needed to reach out somewhere where people might understand what it’s like to go through an ACL injury and an emotional blow.

In the past short while (this week) I’ve not only torn my ACL, but I’ve also just been broken up with my boyfriend (out of the blue, over text, 1.5+ years together). It’s honestly felt like a double hit at once, and I didn’t really expect how much it would affect me mentally.

Right now I feel exhausted in a way that’s hard to explain. I’m grieving my relationship, my routine, and also the version of myself who could just escape everything through netball. I feel like I’ve lost a lot of the things that normally keep me grounded.

I’m struggling with motivation, and even just day-to-day emotions feel really heavy. I know the physical side of ACL recovery is talked about a lot, but I guess I’m wondering if anyone else has been hit mentally or emotionally in a big way during this process?
If you have, how did you cope with it? Did it get better as time went on?
Just feeling a bit lost and really tired at the moment.

Thanks for reading.
