Paralyzing life circumstance? What did you do...?

Hello. .need to write this out.

I have chronic back pain, near my heart. Probably due to anger/grief about my past. This pain does not debilitate me, so I can still work and hold jobs.

However, I recently fell off my bike and injured a wrist - I have become utterly unemployable. My career/day job requires 24/7 high-usage of my wrists.

So, I moved back home with my parents. Now I am unemployed, at home, and feel practically disabled. When my stress is high (like it is now), my back pain goes nuts. Essentially, I keep having reoccurring accidents that result in physical injury. I'm sure the psychological assessment of this is that I am chronically stressed and not as aware of my surroundings; tuning out to shut-down makes me more prone to accidental injury. I fall off my bike, get robbed often, get a concussion, etc. etc. I feel so alone and isolated. And I seriously lack a stable, familiar support network. Difficult to be with old friends because my life has come to a serious halt as of now. Living in your hometown, for some of us, can be really uncomfortable.

Ahhh! I would love some advice and tips. Has/had your life ever come to a complete halt? I'm referring to when you become completely dependent on someone else for care....What did you do? How did you make it through each day without a job and a good support network?

Thanks

You seem really cool, love the picture you posted in your first thread. I really empathize with you, and also what you wrote in your last post. I went through something similiar to you, got sick with some weird stuff and now I have chronic headaches and anxiety, whoops! It sucks Isolating from your friends and living with your parents, but at least we have parents to support us right? Life can be rough but let's hope things are getting better

If you ever want to talk to someone who won't judge send me a pm! We can be friends
