Undiagnosed A Little About Me... Was Hit By A Car

Status
Not open for further replies.
I currently live in NYC and about six weeks ago on my way to work while crossing the street, I was hit by a car. I suffered no broken bones, but my left side was affected pretty badly. I currently walk with a cane, and due to this trauma, I experience frequent nightmares, fear of cars, ambulance sirens, and crowded areas. Since moving here this is my second traumatic experience. A number of years ago I suffered with a flesh eating bacteria that almost caused my right leg to be amputated... This is the first time I have sought counseling which I just began last week due to the accident, but I realize I never talked and healed from my first trauma....
 
Hi Fighting2heal,

Welcome to the PTSD Forum! :)

I am glad that you are seeking counseling, as one traumatic incident can open the proverbial "Pandora's box" of trauma. I hope you find the information and support here helpful as you work on healing.

Take care.

Debbie
 
Thank you so much for your response Debbie. Since currently I feel like my church as well as family are only concerned about when I will be physically able to resume all things I did before the accident, emotionally I feel alone...
