Hi Everyone,
Saturday night I managed to get myself into a pretty serious car crash. I was stupid, trying to text message, and the next thing I knew I’d lost control of the car, oversteered and it rolled. I was doing about 100kph so I was extremely lucky I barely had a scratch on me. I spent the night in hospital and had all the tests done to make sure my head and spine were ok. Several doctors said it was a miracle.
Now I sort of don’t know how to feel. I’ve had some pretty bad anxiety because I’m fairly sure my car will be a write-off and I don’t have the money for another one. I keep trying to think about how much worse it could have been and how cars are replaceable but bodies aren’t. My head just keeps focusing on the bad though eg. How will I get places? How am I going to get another car??
The main moral of the story I guess, is DO NOT TEXT AND DRIVE. I’ve had my licence 20 years and never caused an accident. I’ve been told numerous times I’m a good driver. But a few seconds of texting and I was almost a goner (and it was very lucky there weren’t other cars around me).
I’m mostly writing this for my own benefit because it’s the middle of the night and I was in the midst of an anxiety/depression attack. I feel like I could turn this into a positive but as I say, my thoughts keep going to the negative.
Thanks for reading.. Any wise words from my fellow anxiety-sufferers most welcome
