How to successfully cope with knee injury?

I'm a college sophomore dude, and i hurt my knee a few days ago. I don't know exactly what happened yet because i haven't seen the doctor yet. I get to see him two days later. Anyway, I am on crutches and an immobilizer is wrapped around my knee. Right now my life is a complete mess. When I move from one place to another I need my school's van for handicapped ppl. Going to classes is a challenge. I don't get to socialize as much as I used to. I can't concentrate well. I can't do any exercises. I spend most of my time in my room. My room's hella messy. It takes me 30 minutes to take a shower. It's pretty much like a death sentence. I've had injuries many times, but my knee injury is the one that's really killing me. I don't think i can live like this for weeks. My social life is basically nonexistent but I don't want my injury to affect my grades at least. I get so easily distracted because my knee is bothering. I don't know how to deal with this situation successfully...

why don't you go see a doctor?
