Well I've ruined my life

30m here, ruptured my Achilles on Friday playing a game of rounders after work with colleagues. Got tripped and fell forward and that's the gist of it. Got the boot yesterday no surgery but 8 weeks of hell and then presumably many many more months of more hell.

I'm an Archaeologist so I've basically lost my job because I can't go on site to dig and my boss says there's no work in the office so I'll burn through my year's sick days then go on statutory sick pay. I took pride in what I did even if it was essentially fancy manual labour.

I'm properly ruined. It doesn't even really hurt but I've set my career back at least a year if I can even get back out into the field. I don't know what to do and I can't even go take a bath to relax
