although in my crash i was not high or drunk. i drove drunk on a number of times when i was a teen. right now my life sucks ass but its mostly my choice why its that was i unconiously screw up every thing good in my life so im left with crap because thats how i feel my life should be. i had mild depression before and now i fight with ptsd and suisidal thoughts. i wish some one would pick me up and shake me really hard and tell me im stupid or soem thing because i feel im going down a road that leads no where a dark path that just goes no where

Consider it a wake up call. Everything in life has a purpose and this happened to you for a reason. It is your decision where you go from here.

I was in a car accident where I fought death for a week and my fiancee died on impact. The accident had not been our fault. I understand completely that my surviving was nothing short of a miracle. Instead of pining away because I almost died, I am out there living the life I have. I would expect that you know now how fragile life can be. Treasure it for what it is.

Stop beating yourself up. Accidents happen. It would be another thing entirely if you went out intentionally trying to harm someone. Just my opinion, anyway.

I was in an accident May 09, It was my fault and I was drinking and feel so guitly sometimes it consumes me and I feel terrible for what I have done to my family and the people that I hit I was the most severly injured I am still unable to walk and still have more surgery, but I beleive that this happened for a reason I had a pretty bad drinking problem before this and tried to deny anything was wrong but the accident chancged that now I have not drank in over four months. I hope that you will get through this with some help form family and friends if you evern need to talk you can always send me a message.

I was in a car accident in 2005. I wasn't drunk on a cell or anything. Just crossing one of those country roads that have at lot of speedsters because there aren't enough stop signs to slow them down. I didn't even speed that day but I was angry with my husband and that was enough to distract me. I was hit driver's side just like you. I wound up with a broken back, ribs, & pelvis. I had a shattered left arm. My lungs were punctured and I almost lost a kidney. It took me 3 three weeks to leave the hospital and 5 weeks to leave the convalescent center. We spent another five months living with my parents because my hubby needed help in caring for me. Recovering from it was the hardest work I ever did. The accident was deamed my fault because I stopped and let other traffic through but didn't see the silver Jaguar speeding down the road. For a long time I was angry because I felt like the people who hit me where speeding but NOBODY checked on it. I felt like they got away with plenty of money ( they were wealthy before the accident) and a new car while we were strapped for cash and I couldn't walk for a long time. Honestly I felt like they lied when they said they weren't speeding and the cops pretty much took their word for it. You should have seen me turn on the cop that handed me my citation at the hospital at the very last minute. I've felt guilty about that ever since because the man was just doing his job and he may have saved my life. Nice way to pay him back huh? Also my husband's boss withdrew his paycheck but let him keep our health insurance and than road my husband everyday about working. He actually had the nerve to say "you don't need to visit your wife every day do you?" Don't get me wrong, as soon as I was at my parent's he was willing to work, just not when my life hanging in the balance. I can honestly say say I know where you're coming from. Wish I could tell you it gets better. Sometimes it does but other days really stink. Especially close the anniversary. That accident was like a major illness for me. It was the most pain I'd ever been in physically or emotionally. While you weren't as injured it doesn't make it any less valid.

I was in an accident that was extremely emotional...My accident was on May 6th 2009...I was hanging out with a friend of mine in a parking lot. We were fighting and he turned to me and said I want you out of my life and I never want to see you again...I was hurt and i didn't want to end a friendship with him, at least not like that. He took off on foot on a busy road...I took off after him in my car. He was on the other side of the street so I couldn't pull up along side of him. I approached an intersection and the traffic was insane due to rush hour. At this time he was walking in a parking lot. I got into the left hand turning lane...i had a green light...a van waved me on and as I was about to enter the parking lot to catch up to my friend,i turned and a Suburban came slamming into me...i was driving a little hyudai (spellin is wrong). My air bags didn't work, the truck hit me and kept going for about 15 feet...the front of my car was ripped off all that was left was from the windshield back to the trunk. This all happened in front of my friend..the one that didn't want me in his life no more...that almost happened. From what I remember my friend jumped over the car (yes over the car) and was crying...I had a bad head injury and the person who hit me was perfectly fine. I received 25 stiches and 10 staples to my head. The car adjuster told me that if i was 6 inches ...that's it 6 inches further up I would not be here...basically the truck would have gone through the passenger side straight through the drivers side. I would have been killed and dragged with the truck 15 feet...in front of my friend....

Becareful how you treat people and what you say...you may regret it

"Be careful how you treat people and what you say...you may regret it"

Boy that's the truth. My husband and I had money troubles that corroded our marriage even before my accident. He had actually thought of asking for a separation. Then I had my accident, he had a really hard time forgiving himself for that and our marriage got a lot worse before it got better. He couldn't forgive himself and was angry with every one for a long time.

Also, my husband was in the car ahead of me at the time of my accident and he some how didn't see what happened to me. This I think was a blessing because I think things would have been far worse for the both of us had he actually seen the accident take place.

i was in a crash 4 weeks ago i also sufer from bio polar but with hope and prayer il get over it
