Sometimes even just the initial injury and pain can cause mood symptoms. Any injury or illness that disrupts our normal routines, especially in regards to sleep or diet or exercise, can trigger an episode. I had a cold during a depressive episode in December and the lack of sleep triggered my ramping into a mixed episode. It doesn't take much to tip our proverbial apple carts.
I hope you feel better soon.
