new to group, recent immobilizing broken ankle

[Efin63]

I am new to here and really struggling more almost I ever have with a deep depressions due to a broken ankle injury that has left me immobile for weeks. I have always have anxiety and small bouts with depression but was in a much better place until this happened. I get my energy from social connections and being active and planning activities and am helpless now having to crawl to even use the bathroom and trapped in my home. No one has come to visit like they said and I’m too depressed to try to drag myself around to even leave the house since I can’t drive or even really dress myself. I am feeling at a point of giving up and I feel more hopeless than I ever have in my life.

I just had surgery a few days ago. I ordered a wheelchair, rolling chair and a knee scooter, and I live with my boyfriend but he is gone 10 hrs plus a day and gets very angry a lot when I ask for the amount of help I need

Please try to get carer through doctor or social worker or private carer. As they will really be able to help you

Yes, I think even a few therapy visits around this would help. Can you call those who said they would visit and request that they do? I think that little push would get a visit from me if I were in their shoes. It sounds like you know what kind of support you would like, that is a good step. You got this!
