Im sorry to hear you are having such a bad time, it does sound to me also you are suffering Chronic Anxiety, I remember been there my self and thinking there was no way out of it. Its sounds like the Trauma you had with the fall made your anxiety a lot worse. I hope by reading this it may help you understand I truly hope it does.
I have suffered with Anxiety for 10 years I have always been a worrier, 5 years ago I was admitted to hospital with a huge abscess which had grown to the size of a rugby ball in my stomach, I had developed Septicaemia was put on drugs morphine etc, the Trauma of it all made me go to rock bottom.
When I came out of hospital I felt terrible (the hospital discharged me saying I was fine) the abscess had been taken away and I couldn’t understand why I felt so ill, I had all the same symptoms as you, every part of my body hurt so bad, chest pains, stomach pains, head pains, dizzy, you name it I had it! even the thought of getting out of bed was a challenge I thought if I got out of bed I would surely die. This went on for 6 months, I spent 6 months in bed afraid to leave my room as I was convinced I was dying, my family and friends took it in turns to sit in the bedroom with me as I just didn’t want to be left alone I couldn’t even stand up, the only time I left my bedroom was to go to the toilet and even going to the toilet was a challenge I had to get there on my hands and knees as my body seemed to have given up. Some days in that 6 month period I did feel a little better but I still didn’t leave my bedroom, it wasn’t until the doctor said to me that I cant be seriously ill or I wouldn’t feel a little better one day and then the next day be dieing again, I realised how true this must be, and realised its got to be a physiological problem.
Eventually I did get help, at the time I thought no one could help me get out of this, but with medication and a lot of help I started to get better. I am just hoping by you reading this it may relate to you, and want you to realise things can get better. A year after me suffering so bad I went to night school and earned a degree in Health and Social Care so it just goes to show how you can get better.
I truly hope by writing this it may help you, and relate to some of your symptoms we are all here to help.
Love to you
Andrea
