Car Accident

This may not be the right place to put this but I've got to get off my chest. It feels like the stress is eating me alive. Last night we were coming home from my grandmas house, there was an intersection and we were trying to go straight across. It was our turn to go but a white suburban went instead. It looked like we had enough time to get across so my sister went. Long behold we didn't have enough time and a pickup t boned us. She was clearly speeding and she didn't even try to stop even though she clearly saw us. My sister of course being young got the ticket. But the whole time in the car I was so angry I was literally sitting there balling and I didn't know if I was hurt or not but since the side airbags went off it must have alerted on star emergency I don't really remember what she said particularly because my ears were still ringing and what I can remember is screaming for my mom I was just so lost and I couldn't think of anything but to call her right then and there and I guess I did they were just right up the street.( her and my dad) I was just so pissed off when I got out of the car I'm pretty sure I said screw you to the lady in the pickup. Even with all of that I just can't help to think how we ended up where we did because if my sister wouldn't have swerved or we were driving our other car I most likely would have died. I WAS IN A f*ckING CAR ACCIDENT I just can't think about anything else but that. I saw it coming almost like slow motion and I'm just really angry that it happened but super thankful for how it did happen

Accidents are very traumatizing. I understand why you are so shaken up. Will take some time for your nerves to settle. Glad you are okay.

It's normal to be really rattled in an accident. I've even had that feeling that I didn't dare move because I didn't know if a body part would fall off or not. Mine didn't cause my PTSD, but I know very life-threatening accidents can do that for some people. But the average person is totally normal to get shaky, nervous, angry, confused, etc. It's our body's way of trying to organize the experience. Typically we are initially flooded with a surge of adrenaline that makes everything feel weird.

hope you feel better soon!

I'm so sorry you had this happen to you, what a traumatizing thing to have happen! The fact that the other driver saw you and made no effort to stop is deplorable. Try to get some rest after you have seen a doctor. You should get checked out, just to make sure you are OK.

I am so happy to hear that you came out of it in good shape although your feelings and thoughts were all over the place.Get some rest and try not to think too much for now.
