Hey ho..back on the old treadmill again

[Ormiriathomimus]

Me again. having a whinge. I went back on cit a few months ago because depression hit me like a train. Wanted to jump of the motorway bridge. Had been feeling cautiously better. Started running again after a longish break and built up to 30 mins 5k 3 times a week. Was fine, feeling so much stronger and happier. Then I got extensor tendinitis - which was what finally stopped me running 2 years ago. I am doing what I should, RICE but it's been 3 weeks now and it still hurts like hell. It could be months before I run again. My mood has dipped so badly. So many things are upsetting me atm - but those things were there 3 weeks ago too but it didn't matter then.

Right now I want to go to bed and stay there and I want someone else to make it alright. Someone else to worry for me. DH won't, that's one of my problems. Had such a go at him last night and for once didn't apologise afterwards. But then neither did he for being a monumental arse. We aren't really talking - which is unheard of as I don't do sulks but I can't say sorry and he it seems won't.

This is shit

Hi.I will reply since no one else has yet.I looked up extensor tendinitis as didnt have a clue what it was.And I also know very little about exercise.So please forgive me if what I say is a load of rubbish.
Could you do different forms of exercise that dont involve your feet.Would it give you the same buzz.Would a physiotherapist or other health professional,or even a local gym be able to advise you what sorts of exercise you could do instead?

Thanks amillion - I could swim I guess or use a gym. Both would be better for my body than doing nothing but it wouldn't help what is wrong in my head IYSWIM. The last time I got hit with major depression was when I had to stop running when I broke my foot - it's almost like clockwork.

I have tried physio, GP, chiropractor - none of them help and all of them just tell me to do the usual stuff but it takes so long. Can't afford any private treatement atm anyway. maybe I'll take myself off to A&E and see if that fasttracks anything. There are injections you can get but I can't see my GP advising anything like that.
