How do you deal with being injured after a crash?


Edit: Sorry it's long. I have nowhere else to vent.I recently crashed my motorcycle into someone's car when they turned left in front of me. Police said he was as fault due to how the left turn lights work and he admitted he didn't see me until I ran into his car. They said this type of crash is the most common and there wasn't much I could've done to avoid the crash.I don't have a motorcycle anymore (although I plan to get another) and I've got a Scaphoid fracture in my wrist, a Tibial Spine fracture in my right knee and I learned today that I also tore my ACL, FTL and Moniscus. Plus another small fracture in each of my knees.I can't work until January at the earliest, I can barely walk, more like hobble with a crutch and my doctor doesn't even want me to do that. He wants me to sit in a wheelchair.I'm stuck at home all day sitting in the living room watching motorcycle videos and browsing my local classifieds motorcycles page for my next bike.That's all I can do. I can't play any games on my Switch, PS4 or laptop because I can only use one hand. I physically can't do anything at work because I work in Construction, I can't drive my car around because I physically can't fit inside it without hurting my knee more.I don't have anyone to talk to besides my parents and I don't like my parents. I was saving up to move out of my parents house and into an apartment and now I can't until next year, if there's still some apartments left I can afford.I have no friends, I was going to try to make some but I can't now since I can barely fucking walk around the house.My mental health was finally getting better thanks to my therapist, a job I actually like, getting to ride a motorcycle and the chance to move out of my parents house. Now that I can't work, can't move out, have no motorcycle I'm losing my fucking mind.I want to scream at everybody. My mom because she keeps asking if I'm in pain which is a stupid fucking question because I hit a goddam car at about 40MPH. My dad because he keeps trying to fucking baby me and treat me like I'm a fucking 2yr old who can't do anything. The doctors because they want me to sit in a wheelchair like a fucking vegetable for 3 months until I heal. The insurance adjusters because they won't pick up the goddam phone when I call them. My mother's church friends because they keep asking if I'm ok and that there sorry this happened and if they can make some food for me.I don't know how to deal with this, I just want it to stop. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/dgak42/how_do_you_deal_with_being_injured_after_a_crash/?utm_source=ifttt
