<human>: Hi runners,

I know you guys aint therapists but maybe one of you has walked (haha! pun?) this path before me and can shed some light. 

Long story short: I got injured, still not 100% sure what it is (Dr says the muscle has detached from the bone in my calf/ inner knee area). It's been a month. 

I usually run 30K a week. My life is very stressful: 2 jobs, 2 volunteer gigs, full time literature student. Crazy, I know. But... is it? Running really helped me blow off the steam, stay focused, get in some "me time", feel like a fucking super hero. 

But now it's gone. It's gone and I don't know what to do. I don't lift weights, I've tried the elliptical but it made it worse. I don't swim, and frankly I don't have time to be getting wet and then dry (seriously). I've been coping by EATING, eating, eating... hating myself for it.. fearing weight gain, seeing weight gain, and then underperfoming in my life. I need a coping strategy, a release, an endorphin high.....*sigh*

Has anyone been through this? How do you deal with injury and mental health? Watching your progress spin around and down the drain.... it's just heart breaking.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: My life is built around the assumption that I can run to deal with stress. Injured and can't run, totally losing it. What do?
