I broke my back two months ago, I am 53. I am trying to keep my spirits up but I have a great deal of stress with finances, 14 credit college load, no health insurance and un able to work because of a horribly fractured L1 vertebrae, being in a relatively new community with only a few people to help me get day to day tasks accomplished. My system is thrown out of sync with drugs and inactivity and pain that is nearly unbareable. I have considered just giving up and putting myself down, that is what we would do with a dog or horse. I was getting a bit better and then yesterday the doctor told me it may be another 4 months before I feel any relief. I don't know how to deal with my life or my feelings. I don't feel I have resources to get help and I feel lost and useless. Any suggestions? The weight just piles on and I can't exercise and depression fuels the fat
