A few months ago I went through covid and it caused a nasty lung infection that didn't allow me to play for about 5 months. I couldn't even walk up stairs without getting extremely tired and seeing black, gradually I've gone off meds and started to live a bit more normally. I couldn't stay in closed spaces for too long, couldn't sleep laying down and even drink much water without choking, it was a struggle.
My doctor recommended that I started to play again since some natural stress to the lungs could help me recover faster, and I'm seeing some improvement and that's great, being young helped as well, but I have another issue now.
The problem is that I've started to play again for about a month and I've been worse than I've ever been. I feel like I can't take power from my legs, when I bend my legs to take power from the ground I can't get back up. I can't move at all anymore and I've lost all feeling with the ball. I can't play more than 2 fh topspins without loosing control and as for the backhand, 3 years of work I did to make it usable are like they never happened, I can't even play drives.
I train and I train and I'm getting nowhere, 7 years of playing and I feel like I'm back to being a beginner, but without being able to progress and develop again.
I'm losing my mind and are almost ready to give up entirely. I was supposed to play in the local league and be the first player in the team, but I can barely do a serve.
Something similar happened years ago when I was sailing, I got a knee injury and quit so that I wouldn't damage it any further leading into years of depression, I can't let this happen again. How do I move forward?
