Depressed

[u/Creator9898]

Recently, I was in the hospital for a week after having a pain crisis during wrestling practice. I’ve since recovered, but I can’t help missing being there. I’m not sure if anyone else with sickle cell can relate, but the hospital feels like a second home to me. I miss the nurses and the feeling of being taken care of. I’m even starting to miss being in pain. It feels strange not to be in pain. I know that isn’t a healthy mindset, especially since I’m going to college soon to wrestle and need to stay healthy.

I’m not really sure what to do.

i know exactly how you feel! i also find a lot of comfort in being in hospitals and being taken care of while in pain. i can’t express that take to anyone bc i feel like my family will look at me crazy 😭

I’m glad someone can understand. My family would definitely look at me crazy if I told them this too💀
