Feel Anxious After Accident?

[samtheman]

I had a bit of an accident yesterday and broke a bone in my foot. I had to go to hospital and when I got there my anxiety kicked in and its been with me ever since. It was a nightmare in the hospital, the waiting around and the stupid thoughts, Thoughts like freaking out and going mad and everyone looking at me. I wanted to run out of there but I couldn't walk let alone run.

But ever since getting out I feel very lethargic, depressed and most of all anxious, I usually cure this by positive self talk but its not working now, I can't get the racing thoughts out of my head,

Any advice much appreciated

Are you in a lot of pain Sam or have they given you pain killers?

I think its perfectly normal to feel down after having an accident like that because you are left with not being able to do things you would normally do and this puts a downer on things. Its not nice to feel restricted and stuck in doors.

Have you got any friends who could come round and see you? Are you on crutches? Is there no way someone could take you out in their car?

gosh it could be shock as well, after a huge event I think it's normal to feel lethargic and depressed.

I hope you manage to feel better soon!!
Take care
