Maygin,

I am so glad that you are getting some support. The changes are hard and it is natural to feel sad. I am sure we have all cried oceans. The sadness will ease. You don't know yet where you will end up that's why you have to keep at it no matter what. Taking a class sounds great, just don't pressure yourself. If it's too much on a certain day try to not get down on yourself. Give your body permission to get what it needs for healing. I too disliked my foot and ankle for a while. I really started resenting it and even felt I might be better off without it. Then it occurred to me that I was never going to be able to heal if I carried those kinds of feelings about any part of myself. Save that energy for recovery. Own that leg, love on it, give nice massages to it with lotion and tell it is going to get better. Tell yourself it is going to get better. You are taking all the right steps. Remember this isn't a contest, it's okay if PT progress is slow. You are making some and that's all that matters. You will progress at the rate your body can handle. That might just mean the tiniest increments but eventually they will add up. If you need med support right now for depression that's okay too. God knows this is a bear to deal with. Meds can help the therapy work more efficiently and get you where you want to be to fight this thing. Hang in there Maygin we are all rooting for you.
