3 months post op- ACL surgery + The mental struggle
Hey guys,
I’ve never posted on here before but felt the need for a sense of community as of recently. I got ACL + Meniscus surgery on May 13th of this year, and went with the Quad graft. I’m happy to answer any questions about the surgery if anyone has them. In terms of where I’m needing support is the mental support. Recently, I don’t know what’s come over me but I’m had this overwhelming feeling of emptiness. I just feel completely different than before my surgery even when I was injured. I waited about 2 years to get it fixed unfortunately due to long wait times in Canada. But from the start of May to now, while nothing much physically has changed and I’m back to doing basically everything, I just don’t feel the same. I don’t know how to feel like me again and it’s so uncomfortable. I’m uncomfortable with myself. I don’t know if anyone is going to be able to relate to this but if it does, I’d love some support, or even someone to talk to.
Thanks guys, much love!
