I was reading a fellow KFOer's facebook today and it got me thinking about my past 2/3 years of training.

It all started 2 1/2 years ago when I was losing motivation for kung fu. I couldn't even bring myself to train. I was going through a kung fu depression. I had a lot of negative stuff going on in my life that was brought on partially from kung fu. I was still attending class for a while because I had to, not because I wanted to. then I stopped all together. I would still help assist with classes, but that was hard to drag myself to.

Cut to present: around February this year, my motivation started to come back. It has been 2 months since I drank alcohol. I started going to class again because I wanted to. I have been dealing with the pain in my knees instead of letting it be used as an excuse to not train. Just feels good to be back and to want to do it again.

have any of you gone through a "kung fu depression" before and how have you dealt with it?
