In need of an outlet?
I wasn't really sure where to sort this one... I'm 14 years old and I consider myself to be a very active person in every sense of the word. I'm on my schools basketball team, have a band, i go for runs and run a roleplaying website and -- anyway, I really thrive on doing things. Last week I broke a finger during practice and that consiquently cut me from a lot of these activities. Three months of training and I probably wont see a game, I cant touch my guitar, and I'm not supposed to write more than nessiccary. I go to basketball and band practice but all i can do is sit and watch everyone and its honestly kind of depressing. And these are the things that have always KEPT me from being depressed... Then I find that i've been a lot more irritable in general, and taking my frustration out on my friends and family, which is wrong. I know I need to find something to do with myself, but I'm drawing a hundred blanks, and I honestly feel stupid for asking this here, but I feel like if i keep this up I'll really be a mess after the next two months. Please and thank you to anyone that took the time to read.

Being active and suddenly finding yourself limited in what you can do is very frustrating. A broken finger should not stop you from running so that is one activity you can continue. You can continue your website activities; you may just have to settle for the hunt and peck method of typing until your finger is healed. You can continue your writing on the computer using the same hunt and peck method of typing if you want. There is also software out there that is relatively affordable that allows you to speak what you want typed and the program types what you speak. This would help with your writing as well.
I see only two things that you are really restricted from. Your guitar playing and basketball. I don't have a solution for the guitar. For basketball there are other things you probably can do while sidelined if you ask your coach. You could be the records keeper or assist the coaches with coaching and many other things.
Your an active person, what you need to do is find some new ways to remain active in those activities you enjoy until you can fully participate again. A little outside the box thinking is all that is needed. IF you think more about what a can do attitude will do for you than sit and cry over a can't do attitude you will find away to stay active.
