Hello I am joining this group for a little support. I am not aware if I have post dramatic stress disorder or not so I am not really sure if I am welcome here. Last Sunday, June 17, 2012, I was in a severe car accident. An SUV hit my car going about 45 mph to 50 mph into the driver's door (my door). The passenger and I were lucky that we left alive. I have some injuries to my collarbone (sprained), my elbow, back, neck, headaches, etcetera, but we are alive. I do however, have the moments before and after the accident play over and over in my head. I have not driven since the accident. If I am with someone and they are turning left I close my eyes or clench my jaw very tightly. I am unable to sleep because of the constant visions that go through my head. I learned today that my car is going to be totaled which makes me very sad as it was a 2012 Honda Civic with only 3,000 miles on it at one years old. I cry a lot and the visions have taken over my life. I don't know how to cope. If I hear a car beep there horn or any sounds I jump. I am shaking right now. I am not saying that I have PTSD. I have not been diagnosed with it. I have not even seen a doctor yet besides in the ER. I went to my Primary Doctor today and he refused to see me. I just want help. I am not looking for medical advice but does any of this sound familiar? I would post a picture of my poor car but I won't because I don't want to trigger other members.
