Everybody falls.
Sometimes we stumble, take a bit of a tumble. Other times, we go down hard. Bruised, broken, seeing stars (yeah, it happens), we lie there, wondering what happened, what went wrong, "What hit me?!?"
We have to get up. It's in our nature. In boys, through learned stupidity, the tendency is to want to rise quickly, refuse to acknowledge the hurt, and carry on (Women do this too, I just don't know why and from whom they learn).
Maybe you have fallen really hard, maybe harder than you've ever fallen before. Maybe you're hurting, worse than you ever have, even though that's not really apparent to others. Don't be afraid to acknowledge the pain.
You will rise when you are ready. Don't worry if at first, you can only take one or a few steps. Just be glad you're mobile again.
