I feel this 100%. Tore my achilles a couple months after moving to a completely new city. Lost the plate (HB 8.5) I had met, although we hooked up a couple days before my surgery (I was in a boot lol).

The reality is you're not going to get any ass for a while, especially assuming you'll be in a cast.

1) Start reading 2) Learn a side hustle while you're less active 3) Focus on maintaining your mental health. Injuries suck and a lot of pro athletes talk about the mental battle and how it's even more serious than the physical sometimes. This was by far the biggest hurdle for me personally.

Pick up new hobbies, albeit it won't be easy. Go on runs if you can, I personally just lifted arms (still can't run/do legs but been active). Couldn't go out which was tough, but gotta keep your game sharp or you'll lose it. Still make sure you talk to women wherever you are, just don't expect anything; do it for maintenance purposes.

On that note, I can say I kept working and got laid as soon as I started to walk w/o a boot. And of all people it was one of my PTs lol

Point is STAY CONSISTENTLY ON YOUR PURPOSE/GRIND. It's going to be a grind for a while but keep going in a positive direction and it'll be fine in the end.

Learn a new language. Learn how to invest. Learn about human psychology. Work on your mindset.
Most skills we need to learn are not even remotely physical. You have a great opportunity to improve yourself now. Your body will be eagerly waiting for you when you return to the gym.

You have to live with what you have, not had. The world will continue to give and take, and you need to learn to breathe with it.

When I was 10 I had a body cast from toes to tummy. I spent my time learning to walk in it even though the doctor advised against it. Watched a lot of shows. Learned to wipe my own ass because it was just embarrassing having family do it.

At 37 I'd probably lean on my friends/family more to get out, whereas I run solo missions a lot. My buddy actually hooked up with a nurse when he wrecked his bike and shattered his leg.

Read and write.

I'm always injured, and work around the injury the best I can, more legs, lighter weights, different routines. The loss gains sucks but whatever, some exercise is better than none.

You can work on communication skills/social dynamics more.

Yada

I tore tiny part and strained my right pec muscle 1 week ago on bench doing around 130 kg which is around 70 % of my max and it sucks. Mostly cause i've been off gym for long time due covid.

But instead i do light legs just to do something, so if you can find a way to work around the injury do that.
