Default blown shocks??

ok i have no idea what happened but heres the story. i just got home after being gone for a couple years and i hit this bump near a construction zone and i think i hit it a lilttle too hard . now my shocks have no bound or rebound at all they are just rock hard. when me AND my buddy sit on the fender im 180 hes 140 the springs compress a bit and when we get off the shocks raise the body very slowly. im out of ideas and cant drive like this it hops around every imperfection in the road. anyone have a clue?
oh yeah i have a 95 S with and h23 the only suspension mods are ebay front and rear strut tower braces and progress sway bars. thanks Joe
