Thank you.
As an athlete, my self worth depended on my performance. Having an injury which takes me out of the game is especially hard on my ego. She’s okay with it but I am not.

@madisonman0326 It sounds like a challenge that all athletes face sooner or later — in many pro sports, retirement can happen as soon as 30.
There must be many good resources to help athletes who've spent their whole lives training hours/day, narrowly focussed on one goal, adjust to life afterwards, learning to define themselves in new ways, and perhaps some of those could help you in your current situation aa well.
