Venting Broke my ankle and now I feel so lost in life.

[lwovely]

As you can see from the title, I broke my ankle. Well it happened yesterday by slipping down the stairs. I genuinely was so stupid because how do you slip down carpeted stairs. I broke my ankle and injured my ligaments so I have a long day to go by recovery.

Being bed bound is literally going to kill me, I don't know how people do it. It hurts my back, I feel constant boredom and I genuinely will lose my mind. The worst part is, I cannot continue trade school anymore so I'm legit stuck being a shut in for weeks at a time until I can fully walk. I tried walking up and down the stairs but I can't.

I've been dragged up by morphine and I chug so many Tylenol pills but nothing seems to work. My leg is so uncomfortable being in this heavy boot. I feel so alone even though I have my partner next to me. I felt like my life was okay until I broke my ankle. I am literally disabled by doing my day to day activities. With everything not being accessible I can see how this would drive yall insane. Especially showering, it went from an easy task to something so fucking tiring.

I can't even try to kill myself either cause how can I even go downstairs to get the stuff I need. I literally feel like I'm in prison.

It's been one day. Let yourself get used to it first. I know injuries are depressing had a few myself, but you'll be fine

I broke my ankle once. Was a very clean brake. The pain was intense. Blew up like a balloon.
