@4:45 "There's a whole plethora of people around you trying to make you better and then...." Yep. When I finished chemo, this was exactly how I felt. Lost, stranded and floating alone in a world I no longer knew. Thankfully, I'm 5 years out and I can say it does get easier with time. This is for anyone watching this many years later.
Well my name is hunter and I’m 16 I ran off one side of the road and corrected to hard and went off a 7 foothill flipped 5 times and got ejected on lunch break from work I remember waking up and laying in a field with people around me a lot thought I was dead but I reached for one of the lady’s standing over me held her hand and asked her if I was gonna die I felt like I was fading I ended up getting airlifted also and cried almost every night in the hospital it was like I lost my normal body the shooting pain and before the wreck already dealing with bad depression I was just broke everything was gone i loved my truck I could leave the house and get my mind off of things and now here I was with my body full of pain my arm numb staples in my leg collapsed lung it was dark all I could do was cry it’s a week later now I feel like I’m recovering really well I still don’t understand why it had to happen but hopefully there’s a reason I hope if someone’s reading this you get something from it I hope your ok and you’ll make it through you’ll be ok one day I love you and if you wanna talk to me just comment below and we can find a way to talk about it
I hope you’re feeling better, you’ll get through this. ❤️
Hi there
Thank you for this. Just got in an accident. It wasn’t bad at all, but the first time I ever hit someone. I was in a horrible accident in 2009 and that traumatized me to drive super careful. I came to this for comfort so thank you and I am so sorry that happened to you and I hope you recovered ok
Hi my name is Alex. I got into a car wreck last night. Sitting here with a messed up face. Just wanted to see how to get thru this.
one day at a time bud.
Hey Alex.
I'm so sorry you are going through this.
It must be so scary. I know it was for me when I was in ICU after a car crash.
I'd say pray and let God. It will be okay
Dam bro I'm in the same boat. I ripped teeth, have a few lose, my lip is torn and face is swollen. I can't eat, I can't drink without a straw, can't kiss my girl or my kids. I feel useless, I feel like less of a man. I'm so much discomfort, pain and I'm disgusting in my mind.
This is a lot how my son felt and still feels since his accident 2/4/09.
I was in my first car accident 1/14/23 at 1.40pm. I hit lose gravel on dirt rd going 70 and lost control of my little Hoda civic. I wasn't wearing my seat belt and I rolled 3 times. My airbags didn't go off either. I was saved by my guardian angel. Whitness said it was my foot getting caught in the steering wheel that kept me from being ejected out the passenger window and getting crushed. I've been crying off and on. I am trying to make sense of it because I believed I was going to die. It was a very violent crash and I keep having memories paying in my head of it. My body doesn't feel the same I am waiting for further evaluation from a Dr. I was depressed and suicidal before this. Now I don't think I am I feel very blessed and lucky. Everyone keeps telling me I have a purpose. I feel like I came back into a new world.
how are u today
You know what’s funny on the 18/011/23 my buddy and I where driving on a sandy road both without seatbelts and my buddy was ejected through the drivers window and I ended up landing in the drivers seat with a broken foot, I thought I was dying to.
