Introduction Of Me - PTSD From Vehicle Accident

[rosered]

Hell

A quote from Anthony's posting:

their days, seems like hell to me. I think we could all say, PTSD is hell.I often wonder why life sucks to inflict such a thing as PTSD upon us! Honestly, I think the world we currently live in is actually hell; and that we are given this chance to escape it to something better if we succeed. How we succeed, I do not know! But that is my honest impression of this world. The things people go through, and then to live with for the remainder of their lives

Anthony's statement about PTSD being hell is meaningful to me. Sometimes I almost wonder if perhaps I really died when I hit the floor the day of my traumatic incident and I'm actually in purgatory or hell working off my karma or whatever or learning/feeling what I need to know to be more human.


I know these feelings are just thoughts though. I know I'm alive! Having this disorder is hellish though because one is aware much of the time that they are having reactions that are very different than they used to have, but find it very difficult to change those reactions.

I didn't mention that the student that assaulted me did not intend to do so. It is a long story:angry-fla. The person (my teaching assistant :eek:) who precipitated the incident is who I feel very negative feelings toward. So sorry to be negative, but she is one of types of people who sit on their arces at work doing nothing, cause trouble by running their mouths while doing nothing and then bragging about how much they do.

Because my student ( an eleven yr. old girl :redface:) did not intend to hurt me, it kind of makes it like a car accident where the driver was not being responsible, but did not intend to hurt someone.

Thanks once again for reading about my feelings.

hi i hope your doing better

My daughter was in a bad accedent in 2003 she was the passanger in a car the driver was drunk the car was new seatbelts falce latched and airbags failed to deploy , her back was broke and she was ejected for the car. she is now a parapaligic. thank God she is still with us. i know she has ptsd but she is not ready to admit it. My grandson is 5 and im affraid if she didnt have him she might not be doing as well as she is. I cant even try to say i know how you feel becouse i dont but i know how i feel about my daughter and i just want you to know that i care and i know you are going to get to the otherside of this as you are strong just admitting the ptsd is a big step in the right direction.:claps:
