This, understandably, has left me just a little shaken. I haven't been back to work yet, till I figure out a route home around the estate that doesn't take the better part of half an hour. But i was wondering, has anyone else here had the same thing happen to them?
What did you do to get back to normal?
What would you recomend?
Hi there Verytired,
I read your post and thought I'd respond. I had something similar (but not as severe) happen to me about 5 years ago. I live in Northern Ireland and a typical Saturday night involves going to Belfast with my friends.
This particular Saturday night in question, my mate had inadvertantly mixed his drinks and was wasted. We get a 1:00pm bus home, so we started to make the 10 minute walk round to the bus. Halfway round some guy started shouting at us and running up to my mate and kicking at him. I shouted at the guy to leave us alone. The guys mate punched me in the back of the head and the 2 of them punched me in the head a few times til they stopped. We ran to the bus after that and made it home.
X-rays showed hairline fractures to my skull and head bruising - I had severe concussion for weeks and months afterwards.
Now - as to your questions - how do you get back to normal? Give it a little time - the worst thing to do is hide away from the outside world - ease yourself back into your normal routine - but take your time to do so.
What were the total extent of your injuries?
Are the guys that did it - are they people you would see often in the estate you live in?
