Most ligament injuries take a maximum of seven weeks to heal, but I have been having it for almost four months. Some friends of mine too had ligament tears but they are fine now. It hurts when people at school ask me how long it will take to heal. I’ve tried many types of treatment, but it’s not healing. I have been going through a lot of emotional issues because of this. How can I overcome it?
Healing of both physical and mental injuries differs for each individual. As long as you are taking the correct steps clinically for your recovery, you need to focus on your mental state. When you are emotionally disturbed, it can affect your healing as well. Here are few suggestions to overcome your situation:
- Keep calm: Identify your emotions and feelings, and learn to keep them under control.
- Reflect on your feelings: Look into the what, why, how, when and where of your feelings.
- Resolve: Be open and willing to understand the other person’s point of view.
- Decide: No matter what was happened, accept the situation and be open to making amends.
- Focus on your strengths: Rather than thinking about what has happened, look at your positives and make the best use of them.
- Be with positive people: Surrounding yourself with positive people will make you feel better.
- Don’t take things personally: Do not personalise issues; we get hurt when we take things personally.
