Hi everyone,
This is a first for me. I am seriously depressed right now. I had a bad accident at work in august of this year. I work construction and I was crushed under a piece of equipment. My pelvis was snapped in half, my lower back broken, torn abdominals and nerve damage. I was put back together with plates and screws in a 5 hour surgery. I was in the hospital for a month. I'm not paralyzed but I am in alot of pain and I was told that will have chronic pain and problems. Obviously, I am not working now. I just don't know what to do with myself. I don't sleep well, I am having anxiety attacks and I'm seriously depressed. I used to identify myself by being this big strong guy. Now, I am very weak (physically and mentally). I don't know how to cope with this. I am seeing a psychiatrist, but it isn't doing much for me. On top of all these feelings, I am very lonely. Before, I had work to fill my days. Now what do I do? I have all this time and I need some human contact.
Thanks for listening..
