2 weeks ago I broke 3 bones in my ankle. I was at friends house, last thing remember is saying goodbye to her and then am at bottom of stairs with foot at unnatural angle.

My friends who came behind me tried to get me up, but I couldn't move my foot. Yet I was in no pain at all. Everyone else was panicking and yet I was just sitting there and not feeling a thing. Actually I was trying to keep friends calm.

Once paramedics got there they asked if I needed pain meds, and still told them I was not in pain, they couldn't believe it.

My ankle was badly damaged, they said people with less severe injuries to ankle scream in pain.

Doctor came in and said same thing and said I have high tolerance for pain.

I am feeling totally disconnected from my body, although don't want to tell doctors that. Problem is I could damage foot by using it sooner than I should because I don't feel pain like normal person.

However this is first time where I see how dissociation/depersonaliztion might be a good thing. I don't think I could have withstood the pain of 3 broken bones and dislocated ankle.
