Had serious injury on wrist (Sania Mirza On depression)
This incident is from the year 2008. Sania was at the peak of her career when she suffered a serious wrist injury. The pain was so much that she could not even comb her hair. Sania told that I had to withdraw my name from Beijing Olympics. At that time I felt that both my life and career were over. I didn’t know that I would play three more Olympics after this.
Sania was imprisoned in the room for one and a half months
This injury pushed Sania into deep darkness. She remained confined to her room for about one and a half months. During this time she just kept crying. She did not want to meet anyone, not even her parents. She was beginning to feel that she was disappointing everyone. Sania said that that was the first time that I faced a condition which today I recognize as ‘depression’.
Sania Mirza is spending more time with her son
Sania Mirza also admitted that tennis court became a way for her to escape from stress. He expressed his emotions through sports. But it is not easy for everyone. That’s why it’s important to keep your worth separate from your successes. Take short breaks in life, where there is no pressure to perform. Asking for help is not weakness, but emotional maturity. After divorce from Shoaib Malik, Sania Mirza now spends more of her time with son Izhaan Mirza.
