[QUOTE="Brad, post: 413332, member: 17995"] Lifes hard and it fucking sucks. I've been suffering with Depression for the past 2 years & have only just really came round it myself, so I understand what you've gone through with that. I spent most of my life training to join The Rifles in the British army & 1 month off going for my Selection process. I even posted about all this on this forum somewhere as I used to be very active and for some reason wanted to let everyone know I was going and the reason why. but, yeah. from 1 month off my selection process I managed to have a lower back injury while training in the gym. From then, I couldn't train properly for the next few months. It also would hurt when running which was not a good sign. Which then I fell into the state of me thinking there was no way I could go back in. Mostly because I've heard stories of people being denied from entering with such thing and it's not really a thing you'd want/could lie about either or it would just get worse. I was then told to take a break of upto 1 month, the pains did lower, but by then I already felt out of place. It was weird, it was like my brain just went off the fact of me training & I couldn't concentrate nor run again. I was in the greatest shape of my life before it happened until that point. Then I started to eat, food was only the real thing that put my mind off what happened. Then I noticed I gained a fair few weight, which then made my depression even worse. The cycle just went round and round again. The last few months I've taken my mind off it completely and I'm focusing on other careers for the time being and slowly gaining my fitness back & I've recently re-kindled with a sport that I used to love and still do motor-racing. I private testing now and again when I can & I race online as well. this isn't me aiming your thread towards me for some reason, it's more or less me explaining I've gone through depression myself and it's not easy.
