Have you been in a car accident?

Were you injured? Was it your fault? Were there multiple cars? Emotionally, how did you evolve after the accident, aka move on easily after it or did it kind of stick with you on a daily basis wanting to creep into conversations?

I'm just trying to put my emotional reaction to a major auto accident into perspective while I recover.

    Had a motorcycle accident, totally my fault. Definitely alters your perspective during recovery. It stuck with me for quite a while, and wanted to creep into every conversation. But I knew most people didn't want to hear, so I saved it for good friends who really listened and genuinely cared.

    Met other people in physical therapy who let the negativity define them, who latched onto their aches and pains and diminished capability and let that be their response mechanism to the entire world. I hope they outgrew it, that struck me as quite a sad reaction. I just focused on what I needed to do, went and did it, and resolved to never forget that every day is a gift.

    Best wishes for good luck with your recovery.
