If you’re a man who relies on your strength, endurance and mobility to make a living, getting injured can be more than just a blow to your physical well-being, but your mental state as well. In fact, it’s a nightmare. The more severe an injury is, the more work has to be done to get back to your old self. Depending on the extent of the injuries, this could also mean time off from work and limited activity. And, of course, no one wants that.
Ultimately, the best thing you can do is allow yourself enough time to really heal. Not just physically, but mentally as well. Many men try and mask the emotion of dealing with an injury and instead begin to rely on things like alcohol and prescribed medications to get past it.
