I've been following this saga of your accident through the work I do for our Discord group as you know. I've been afraid to ask, since I think I already know the answer. This car that was wrecked ... it wasn't your lovely brand new car you managed to buy with crypto (without letting the word crypto enter the negotiations) ... is it? (I just haven't been able to even stand that idea after all you went through to find it.)
I'm so glad you are alive. And I hope you can say for sure you're ok ... at least "considering." I remember the couple of accidents I've been in ... and it takes weeks, sometimes longer, before the "intrusion" stops. (It's like flashbacks ... but much more constant. Every time you stop doing something that keeps your brain fully occupied, you're right back in the crisis ... reliving it again and again.)
The psychology of trauma is itself fascinating. But you have to live it to really appreciate all the things they teach about it in academics. The intrusion, the sense of dissociation, the constant fear that it's going to happen again, trying to own the experience and become used to the fact that it was real, it really happened ... and is now a part of who you have become.
Please be careful. Please take special care of yourself. Please know that you won't be completely "ok" emotionally / psychologically / physically for quite a while. It's not something you can just decree ... or rush.
Yes, it was CryptoJeep. She saved my life. It was the worst accident Northeast Nevada has had and the NHP was amazed I didn't suffer more... The lady not in a Jeep is still not awake, and had a long road of recovery...
Papa pepper is amazing, and started a campaign to bring back CryptoJeep he's just probably the most amazing human I've encountered.
I have a long road of physical recovery, but nowhere near as bad as it could have been. The mental and emotional on the other hand is the scariest to me... The psyche is going to take far longer to heal...
Thank you so much for stopping by with your encouraging words hun <3 it's good to see you
<3
I'm so sorry that really was the car. You seemed so thrilled with it and it was like you had a special bond. (Maybe it was some kind of angel in disguise, sent to save your life, in spite of everything.) I'm terribly sorry, too, that the other woman is in such bad shape. My Lord, what an experience for all of you. I wish her well ... whatever happens from here.
Back off on any added stress for a while. Give yourself a chance to recover fully and put yourself together again. This is one time when "being tough" will not work in your favor. Little things will trigger reactions that surprise you. PTSD isn't just for war veterans.
I will keep you in my thoughts. That kind of energy helps. Friends are found in many places, and you certainly have made a few around here. It's especially good to see you, too.
<3 <3 <3 back. Always.
You know where to find me.
