I have separated my AC shoulder joint last June , kept on working out and caused permanent damage to the cartilage which has very poor healing....
I stopped working out since last August , so it's been 9 month with no lifting whatsoever. I have lost ALL my muscles and all my self confidence that I've built through my lifting career. I hate seeing my body in the mirror, hate looking skinny,weak and hate feeling sorry for myself. All my insecurities that got me initially into lifting have now emerged to a much deeper level where I just cannot accept my current self anymore...
I was so obsessed with looking good/aesthetic and chasing my dream physique that this injury just completely crushed me physically and mentally... I am only 20 years old , had plans on competing , modelling and generally have a career in the fitness industry..
Doctor said there is still a chance for healing , so its just a waiting game at this point of time. But I am honestly filled up with this b.s I just wanna get back to what I was ... I really wanna do surgery at this point of time, but potential complications do scare a lot, I wanna be fully functional all my life..
I don't really have any questions and I don't really know what I want to accomplish with this thread but It would be nice to hearing from u guys who can relate and have had similar personal experiences..But I would honestly be happy if you have anything to say whatsoever.. I think it will help me out hearing from u guys..
Thank you
