>I've learnt my lesson now, but what if I'll never be able to put it into action, I feel like I'm fucked for good
I'm starting to lose hope /fit/ or I think I may already have, my motivation is fucking dead, I feel fucking horrible, I'm resorting to bad habits again, my diet is fucking awful, I'm barely eating now, everything feels like it's falling apart, the people around me are starting to think I'm lazy and that it's all in my head, I actually feel like I'll fucking go insane if this keeps up, there's no one around who understands, I'm actually going to go nuts holy shit.
What should I do, what would you do?

My deepest condolences bro, I can only imagine how shitty that must feel.
If I personally had an injury and couldn't lift at all, I would turn into a big stinkin cardio guy. Might as well remain healthy in that respect if you can't stay big and strong.
However it doesn't seem like you're completely hopeless when it comes to continuing lifting. I would keep trying to figure out more about your injury, what lifts you can and can't do, and adapt accordingly.
Stay positive, friend.

is that you in the photos?
Im sorry about your injury :(
I dont really have any advise sorry :( apart from keep going to the physio and im sure you couldnt have fucked up your wrist for life.
I mean people get paralysed and do rehab and then walk again and stuff
How much were you benching?

Sorry to hear that anon, that sucks
This is why I always find a spotter when planning on lifting heavy. Always afraid of messing something up. Even if I know it is in my abilities it's still a lot of weight and the slightest thing can mean game over. It's either I have a spotter or do something else that day.
