I have been where you are. Not because of a broken foot but when I am depressed real bad I do not go anywhere. I eat, sleep, watch tv, and go on the internet. It does get very boring but i can't seem to do much about it when i am in that state. I think I have even fantasized about suicide for hours just for something to do. I wasn't going to act on it but it was comforting.

I would have to agree with HuxleysParadox. Anything to keep your mind and hands busy as a distraction since you are kind of stuck. I discovered this forum in that state and spent a ton of time on it because it gave me something to do and I felt connected to the outside world here. TV and facebook gets real old fast. I get obsessed about reading everything I can about depression sometimes. I don't know if that is healthy but it is better than fantasizing about suicide and it gives me some hope.
