Hello, this is my first time ever posting on reddit so I'm sorry if I didn't tag properly or don't censor things right. I'm not going to go into any details about my accident, but it was very bad my car was demolished and I was unable to exit on my own. Its now been 7 months since the accident, and nothing has gone back to normal, I feel like my old life, who I was before the accident, is gone. I'm still in pain every single day, I can't walk the same anymore, I can't bend right anymore, I can't twist and move or anything anymore I'm in my 20s still but I feel like I aged 40 years in one day. Some days I wish I didn't walk away from the accident, I'm sorry if thats not ok to say here, its just so hard to see a light at the end of all this. I'm still not allowed to go back to work after all this time, and I just feel like everything I worked for, my job, my car, my independence was taken from me that day and I can't figure out how to put my life back together from here. I feel like my injuries were really bad but somehow not bad enough for people to believe how awful I feel everyday. I mostly just wanted to rant and get this out because I feel like I'm drowning in these feelings lately, but I guess I also want to see if there was anyone else that felt the same way I do. I guess more than anything I want to know that I'm not alone, and that I'm not crazy for not being over it, and not being ok still, physically, mentally, or emotionally. Also if this is not an acceptable post I will delete it no problem.
