Help, I've lost all my physical confidence after I broke my shin...?

It's been a little over a year since I broke my shin (tibia and fibula), and although I can walk fine and even run, I feel a crippling self consciousness when I attempt anything strenuous. This is not without grounds either, I had a very positive attitude for recovery, but six months after the fracture and consequent surgery, I suffered a hairline fracture in the same spot, and then today I felt a loud snap after I fell down, and I have a little of a limp from the pain (which is local to the fracture point). I can't even feel good sprinting anymore without imagining myself breaking apart and having my bones rip through my skin. I feel so extremely weak and fragile, even playing soccer scares me. I used to play football and tumble to emphasize the level of contact, and now I am almost ready to give up my past and train to be a contortionist or something, it's awful, please help.
