Car Accident PTSD: It's more common than you think!

Lots of people think that car accident PTSD isn't that common, but that's actually not true!

When accidents happen, people don't expect them to occur. They're scary situations that came out of the blue, and isn't what the individual expected to happen on their way to where they were going. Pair this with ongoing pain from injuries and mental suffering, and you get PTSD. Car accident victims who experience this should always go to their doctor, or get a referral for counselling. If this sounds like you, talk to your insurance company about accident benefits. Accident benefits are there help you in case you experience this, they'll help you get back on track, and hopefully get some peace of mind when it comes to being a driver or passenger.

I was in a car wreck yesterday. Thank the lord I’m barely hurt. I was forced to go in a car again to say because I needed to go to the hospital. I cried and bawled the whole time, trying to get out.

Story time: I was in the car on my way home from a after school club. My dad was driving and i was sitting behind the passenger seat. As I look out the window I see a car speeding up to us, I thought we made it but then I heard it. The ‘BOOM’ of the cars, the spinning, the airbags hitting me in the face, my dad trying to shake me into realization. We where turning and a 16yr old sped up to beat upcoming traffic. Yet he to, d the police it was all our fault. The police said no body is at blame and we were ok with that. Until we figured out the car didn’t even have insurance. Which in my state it’s illegal to drive w out insurance. Yet the police are still blaming my dad. My whole family thinks it’s because the police are white, the 16 yr old was white, and my dad is black. It’s unfair. I will update y’all js like or smth so I remember too.

My dad was drunk driving on my eleventh birthday. And he picked me up from my grandmas house to head home. I noticed strange behavior like him blaring music too loud even though I would turn it down cause it hurts my ears and he would just turn it right back up before I yelled at him and he stopped, and he did donuts on the side of the road. That scared me and the front of the car started to steam but he told me it was nothing to worry about. We didn’t get too much further until the car jerked to the right and we got the side rail and went into a super deep ditch. Once the cops showed up they said something I can’t ever forget. “Well this is a birthday that you will never forget” whilst laughing…. I’ve been doing research on ptsd for a while now and am going to talk to my therapist about it soon.
