Hobby Artist

i broke my neck and im an artist and im having difficulties adjusting from the loss of motion?

Im 22 go to art school and my bigest hobby in life was drawing and i seem to not be able to since i cant look down im very fusterated this happend a year ago and im feeling im just smoking weed to just not care because of how hart broken i am what can i do to get a better grip on my life and dealing with this loss of life.

I agree with seeing an occupational therapist. I imagine you must be in a great deal of physical pain, too.

I had an accident about 2.5 years ago that has left me with chronic neck, back, and headache pain.

Things improved for me when my PCP referred me to the spine program within my health system. There I saw my spine doc, who encourage me to get into their Multidisciplinary Spine Treatment program. This included continuing visits to my spine doc, seeing an occupational therapist, a physical therapist, and a psychologist specializing in chronic pain. We dealt so much with the issues that I haven’t fully recovered and have limitations, then looked for ways to accommodate.

I’ll be honest, I’m not pain free, but I’m managing it better. The hard part now is finding an actual occupation that I can handle.

If you don’t have insurance, many major health centers have some sort of charity care.

If nothing else try occupational and psychological therapy to help cope with what has been lost, and find creative ways to really live again. It may take a long time, but hang in there.

Please stop smoking weed.

Good luck.

PS- Aqua therapy is the best.

J’s answer is great!
