Broken leg thanks to a man
I’ve completely hit rock bottom recently. 3 weeks ago I tried to help another woman who looked like she was being attacked by her boyfriend. She started speaking aggressively towards me for some odd reason and then her boyfriend attacked me. He pushed me to the ground, I managed to limp home and a couple of hospital trips later revealed I have a broken leg. I’m scared I may need surgery on my ligaments and even that I’ll never walk again. Depression and hopelessness is hitting hard.
If by some miracle I fully recover, I’m not going to willingly go near a man again.
@TiaLeopard11 I'm so sorry to hear about the distressing experience you've been through. It takes immense courage to step in and try to help someone in a difficult situation. It's unfortunate that the situation escalated in a way that caused you harm.
It's important to acknowledge that victims of violence can often react unexpectedly due to the intense stress and fear they're experiencing. The only responsible person is the man who started to be violent with his girlfriend and then with you.
Your response to this traumatic incident is valid. It's crucial to prioritize your physical and emotional well-being during this challenging time. If you haven't already, consider reaching out to a psychologist to help navigate through these emotions, and to seek support from your friends and family.
The fear and reluctance you feel towards future interactions with men are completely understandable. It might be helpful to take things one step at a time, focusing on your recovery and seeking support to cope with the emotional aftermath. Remember it's okay to prioritize your own healing and well-being. I am here if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to reach out anytime. I wish you a speedy recovery. Take care 💜
Thank you, I do need people to talk to because I’m not sure of the path that lies ahead. I have an MRI scan booked to look at my ligaments, which I’m most scared of because depending on the results I may need surgery.
@TiaLeopard11 You are welcome. It's completely understandable to feel apprehensive about the uncertainty ahead, especially with an upcoming MRI scan. I'm here to listen, if you're comfortable, you can talk more about your worries or anything else on your mind in PM.
