I got into a bad car accident last Wednesday. I got hit directly on the driver's side door by an SUV truck.
Everthing is a mess but I"m most concerned about long term injuries. I'm in a lot of pain right now and would appreciate any prayers that I won't have long term health problems from this.
He hit me directly on the driver's side door. (I was driving.) It was the most terrifying moment of my life. Seeing that truck coming right at me and there was nothing I could do.
The other driver is fine as far as I know, he was in an SUV truck. I was in a small compact car.

Thank you Libby and Lori.
I feel really down after this. There's so much to deal with- insurance, doctors, getting the car fixed- and I don't feel up to any of it. And it has made my driving anxiety ten times worse.
My Dad actually told me not to drive anymore. I agree that I shouldn't. But I can't stay home all day either. I have to go to work, at least, and get groceries. I ask DH to drive me places as much as possible but he gets really annoyed and/or says no and then I get cabin fever. And staying home too much makes me even more depressed.
I was JUST starting to feel better about things, I was JUST starting to get my life to a better place. And then this happened and I feel worse than ever before.
Hi Blue,
TRIGGERS
I just noticed that I wrote in one of my other posts on the board that I wanted to be rescued from driving... and that was BEFORE my car accident.
So, was it a premonition or a rational fear? I don't understand why everyone treats me like I have some irrational phobia..driving really is dangerous! By everyone I don't mean you, Lori. Your post was fine. But I just had a relative tell me I needed to "force myself" to drive and "don't let your life be driven by fear." Yeah, she made me feel ten times worse. I was trying to do that...and got into an accident! So maybe it's not such a brilliant idea.
Driving really is dangerous! Let's see, one of my best friends was killed by a drunk driver. One of my other closest friends got hit by a car and broke her leg and back. Even though I try to drive really cautiously I've gotten into 2 accidents, one fender bender, and got one ticket from a really rude police officer since I learned to drive in 2005.
I'm so afraid next time I will end up in the hospital, scarred or disabled for life. Or worse, someone else could get hurt!
This is also wierd...when I saw the SUV coming towards me out of the corner of my eye..it seemed FAMILIAR. I could swear I've seen that vision before, while worrying about driving...was it a premonition?
I hate this peer pressure to drive! It's not safe, not safe at all.
And I hate that my choice is either drive or stay home all day. I wish I had the kind of husband who would drive me everywhere.
Hi Blue,
You have all my love and prayers and positive thoughts.
Keep us updated.
I got out today and was blowing leaves and let me tell you it was very theraputic. I couldn't hear the kids argue because the leaf blower was loud and when they came out to complain i just pretendended that i couldn't hear them. it was a quiet day so to speak. i think i'll take on more of the yard work with the noisy toys hehe.
Hope your feeling a little better today.

I have had a few accidents where my car was totaled. i was terrified to get back behind the drivers wheel but i knew if i didn't or the longer it took the harder it would be.
I understand your fear. to this day i still can't put my face in the water in a pool or swim underwater. i don't know if i ever will be. those terrors are real and the sooner your dh realises it the sooner he can help you.
Libby
