I have never really seriously injured myself while doing sports so I don't know the kind of pain you went through. But their were certain reasons why I also had to stop playing badminton. It was one of the things I look forward to the most after my school. But now I can't go back there. The fact that I am not even injured but still can't continue to do what I like is really frustrating so it must be even more frustrating for you...
Anyway even though I am more or less Okay with seeing other people play now, its still a bit... Idk... upsetting ig(for not being able to participate in it myself)
Its comforting to know that someone gets what you are going through
Wow the first story, that guy is pretty strong minded, (I'm gonna star rambling don't read if u don't want sjsms) I used to swim and run in college but two years ago I injured my hip and everything felt apart, I ripped my labrum, literally drill my cartilage, damaged my knees with time and I'm banned from doing high contact sports, I left the team and I live my life as if I was made of crystal, is being two years!! and I'm sill really touchy about it, I can watch people exercising, running, jumping or doing whatever because I fall in misery. Obviously this is a fictional character but it makes me think what am I doing with my life.
