what are the physical affects of abuse?

im 25 years old and was healthy till recently. i got into a car crash and broke alot of bones and i have walking problems and am disfigured and have bone desnity issues and heart problems from the injury

i had a hematoma on my heart.

i was fine i was doing well getting by each day with enough energy and hope for the future. the main problem was my pain and mobility problem.

i have trouble walking. i walk slow like a senior

but now i have new symptoms., im normally a strong girl but

recently my sister became abusive to me for the last 5 months non stops shes been hitting me every day sometimes with sticks or metal sticks or heavy objects or throwing things at me

she lunges at me daily and scares me and screams at me and makes threats and says odd stuff. her speech slurs. she does things to try to sabotage me

like she dosnt let me sleep at night. i need to stay up sometimes because i have a hard time getting food because i cant lift stuff or move my arms in certain directions. so i was waiting till a certain time to go into the kitchen to get food and she began to block the kitchen and wouldnt let me get any and i couldnt go to bed without food because i was dizzy and i cant lie down if i feel faint and didnt eat in almost 24 hours

also the emotional abuse causes alot of pain

she used to be nice to me. im going to a preist about this because some of the stuff she says is odd and i think it might be religous related

im a religous person and this abuse seems more than criminal especially a sudden personality change and the stuff she says

also i have tried cops in the past because other family members abused me and they didnt help. i tried social services too. but right now shes the one who brought this new abuse

and i reAlIZED IN THE LAST LIKE MONTH i lost energey. i feel very depressed and hopeless. i have no energey maybe its from always fending for myself and not eating. or the beating? im not young now i used to get beat like that when i was 12. i was a kid and would run around all day now im in my 20s with health problems

maybe its heart related? but new symptoms or maybe abuse related?

anyways she is moving away soon.

but im worried, we had a relationship.a cool sister sister relationship we used to be friends and now shes attacking me but ill talk to the preist about that

and yes shes been mental health screened and came out negative

her shrinks think she has social anxiety

im so week now all the time and careless. i stopped caring about myself and ive been depressed before and wasnt week. so its probably not from depression

i just feel bad that others take me down and try to harm me when im trying to care for my well being and raise myself to a level where i can function

i want to go back to school and walk down a hall with a backpack but i cant. i cant barely walk or bend and i have pain and no arm strength

also i noticed our house in infested with fleas. a neighbor brought their dog over when they dropped something off and since then everyones been bitten and i have bites all over my legs. like polka dots on the bottom of my legs

maybe the fleas bite and make people lethargic? mo0squitos dont do that but fleas maybe?

i dont know

i just need to take care of my health and then get the heck out of this tangled mess. and get to a preist and fix whatever might be happening.

or family counseling or whatever if the preist dosnt know

    Besides the obvious physical conditions, the mental side of it is harder to overcome. You need to get away from this girl. Go to a shelter if you need to.
