Dealing with Injury Anxiety

does anyone else feel like they are constantly scared like you don’t trust your body? like you wake up wondering if your body will work today? I am still healing from a patella dislocation that fractured my patella about 3 months ago. I was just standing when it happened.. and now I feel scared every step I take I might hurt something else, any advice?

Honestly, all day long. I usually feel like my hip is put out of place and hurts or something when I walk, and my legs feel heavy walking up the stairs and all of that so I get really nervous because I don’t want to have any sublaxations or worse a dislocation. I am shakier than usual these days and am scared when I pick objects up. I honestly dont know what to do right now about it other than wait until im less busy to start physical therapy and actually go to the doctors, and I’m still scared for that because they never see anything “wrong” with me.

I feel this so much <3 you are not alone. I feel like my body is constantly failing me in new ways and it's really hard to get out of bed sometimes or do anything at all when it feels like I'm just waiting for the next thing to go wrong
