Hurt my leg, feel so down

Yes, I know this is a first world problem. I know things could be worse but I am feeling very low. Yesterday I fell whilst out running and have badly hurt my leg. I can't weight bear, can't drive, can't walk, can't do the stairs. I live alone and wfh and the thought of being trapped inside until it gets better and not being able to be active is making me feel so upset.

I rely on exercise and getting outdoors for my mental health. I know it will be a few weeks of rest and recovery and it's nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it feels like so much time and I don't know how I'm going to fill it.

Woe is me.

I’m sorry no advice I’m afraid other than read all the novels you’ve been promising yourself and see if a friend can take you out in their car maybe? Hope it starts to mend for you.

ouch, that sounds inpleasant (understatement)

if you can't bear weight you need to get it checked out.

time for plan b whilst you recover

  • amazon prime is great for mobility aids (crutches, walkers) or look up fb marketplate.
  • sit outside for a few minutes every day
  • make an app with a physio (once you know what's wrong) to get mobility back quickly
  • do you havd a neighbourhood accosiation? join them. they have been incredibly helpful when we needed help (no family nearby)

I hope it gets better soon.
