So last night I'm looking at all my tablets and thinking why not just take them all. I know I need help but in my family I'm the strong one(if only they knew). There's no one I can talk to so I decided to try this.

You've reached out to a great forum. Surgery is frustrating. Ankle surgery isn't fun. I had Zankke reconstruction surgery in December. I resprained my ankle and tore it up again. I'm gavibg perineal tendon replacement surgery August 21. Keep your head up you will be fine.

Joanna, ever since I moved across country last year by myself with 2 cats, and 2 dogs I've been on antidepressants. Thank God I stayed on them when I broke my ankle. For the first time in my life, my physical well being will be affected for the rest of my life in having a less than perfect ankle over a really stupid accident. This is where we depend on friends and not be fearful to ask for help. If that doesn't work, try to shift your focus by watching something comedic or uplifting, read about someone else's problems because there'll always be a person whose problems are worse than yours. Talk to your doctor and keep reminding yourself not to be afraid to ask for support.

Joannah,
I'm so sorry you are feeling this way! I felt the same way too. I cried constantly. I fell holding my newborn and couldn't steady myself or I would have dropped him on the pavement. I broke 3 bones in my ankle and dislocated it as well. I had emergency surgery the next day. It's been hard. I am now 3 weeks out and in a boot but I'm non weight bearing. But even a week ago I was in despair. I can promise you, this will get better. You will feel better. It will get easier and you'll walk again and eventually, this will all be a distant memory. Hang in there. Talk to someone. Cry as much as you need to. But stay with us because this too shall pass. Xo
