recovering from a bad accident

[altedza]

how to deal? :[

[HeilSvenska]

urm...if we knew what kind of accident you were in and how you were...it'd be better for us to advise...




...or do what i do and have a Top Gear marathon. that always helped me when i was down.

[altedza]

briefly.

i went driving. i rolled off a hill. 3 random trees saved me. a few other random things saved me from terrible injury. i crawled out of my car and up a cliff with only a broken finger, minor concussion, bad scrapes, and poison oak. the car is totalled. i havent told my brother. my parents arent too upset but my entire life is shaken.

[BADMIHAI]

Oh man, that sucks. IMO you should just browse JW when alone, but do try and hang around with your friends as much as possible. If you don't have too many real-life friends, you always have us here. Sorry to hear you had an accident! :cry:

[altedza]

the towtruck guy stole my wallet and its the weekend so i havent been able to get my license. its almost sinful to ask but what kinda car should i get? maybe something completely different? how do i tell my older bro? hes at college but we share the car.

my friends are bad influences... smoking weed, doing coke, etc. this all followed a nasty breakup too. im kinda just on my own it really bites. i have people that care and stuff but its just... bad.

[altedza]

my car got wasted :[ :[ :[

[altedza]

i closed my plastic sun roof cover for some odd reason ( i never do this ). had i not done that, terrible things wouldve happened :o also, i got caught by 3 trees. they were completely random. beyond the trees was a drop i cant even measure :O

[nthfinity]

im glad to hear your alright, altedza. i know southern cali has some amazingly fun winding roads... but dangerous. god, i cant even imagine careening off an edge... shitting myself mabey...

as for friends; i know that we here at JW are here for you. i also know that reading is much less comforting then a good friend in person. even among the bad habits you mentioned within your friends... (i hope).

i pray there is someone near for you.

im sorry to hear the car was totalled... luckily it served its safety job superbly .
i felt quite a bit of sorrow when i severely damaged my old Saab... like a part of me had died...

[altedza]

thx guys :o) its gonna be tough. gonna spend lots of time on the puter til school starts ;P then even more time :x

[Stikz]

shit man, sounds like you were pretty lucky. Your bro should understand about the accident. Think you need new buds too. Good luck man

Maybe you should get some new friends to go along with that new car. As I said before, you always have us here. We care about you because you're one of us. :) 8)

[bmagni]

hey man, its terrible to hear that, its good to hear ur ok, and that ur looking for help to come out of this one...

any car to get would be ok, dont worry much bout it...

i wish i could help but i dont live near where u do... but if u need to talk or something count with me

[SilviaEvo]

hey man sorry to hear bout it at least you alive. but you totalled your/and your bro's car. which im guessing is the Lexus in your Sig right?

[aks]

hey man,

sorry to hear bout the accident and your car. i had a pretty traumatic accident a few months ago, it was my first accident ever and i was totally shocked! i know how u feel.

all that matters is that you're ok, things happen for a reason and somebody up there obviously likes u (as u said, u never close ur plastic sun roof cover)

so chill out for now, it jus feels worse when u think about it so try to lay low and relax. maybe buying a new car will help u take ur mid off it, maybe it won't. it's up to you. maybe go and try and make some new friends through a common interest (i.e. night clubs, library, whatever tickles ur fancy)

but as for ur bro, u should tell him. he'll care more bout u than the car so nothing to worry about.

hope everything is ok,

- aks

As others pointed out, what happened happened and you can't change it. Your friend should understand and be happy you are safe and only the car is totalled! I hope you weren't high or drunk when that happened.

BTW, the towtruck guy stole your wallet?!?!? I hope you informed the police already since you should know the company he works for! What a prick!

And yes, try to drive again as soon as possible :)

[Sm@ck]

Pick up a new hobby/sport

ideally would be a team sport, join a club, and throw yourself at it.

A.) You will meet new people (it really is the easiest way)
B.) You will have something "new" to distract from your current problems. I am not suggesting that you should not deal with your problems. But sometimes it is better to move on as quickly as possible. I do reecommend advise spending too much time behind the computer, by yourself. You might even want to consider a mmopg, then you wont be to alone. (you know a massive multiplayer online game thingy...).

As for the accident, shit happens. Learn what you can from it and move on. GL, and remember you are alive :)

totally sober, just... made a mistake i guess.

cant do anything, they searched him but he hid it.

Sorry to hear about your accedent altedza, I'm really glad you are OK. And thank God that nothing wores happend. Your still alive and fully functional. I undrestand that this might shake you up but you will forget it sooner or latter and move on.

Same thing happend to me more than 3 years ago now. I broke my left leg just above my knee when they got me out of the car it was at a 90 degree. I spend time at the hospital had an operation got 6 scews in my leg... Terminator..lol.. Now I am more careful person on the road than few years back. I still think about it but what can I do to change it.. nothing.. move on...

Again glad to see your OK altedza. Keep smiling :mrgreen:

another sorry for your crash, but as long as you don't harm yourself or anyone (as I did something ago) everything is fine. Don't worry about the car... others will come

and your wallet, they used the old :"we aren't responsible for objects, documents, etc. found in your car, etc"

[Vansquish]

Sorry to hear about the accident Altedza, but like the others, I'm really glad to see you're relatively ok. It's cliched and some of the other guys have said this already, but I'm sure your brother will be glad to know you're ok, family and friends are way more important than material belongings. It was a car and that's all, and I'm sure you'll find another that you'll love equally as much.

It's lucky that you're a JW member, as I don't think you could find a much more supportive forum with your interests in mind and with people around nearly 24/7.

[stradale]

All the clichés (truths) have already been mentioned by others and I'm afraid I don't have additional good advice. I just wanted to say I'm very sorry what happened to you and that I'm glad you're not too seriously hurt.

Get well soon and get in the driver's seat again soon! The best of luck!

[sikx5]

Sorry to hear about your accident dude, but could we get a little more information? what speed were you going at? what sort of corner was it? is the car badly damaged? And what a prick of a tow truck driver, he needs his tow truck tyres slashed a few times.

And for your bro and family, i am sure they care more about your well being than a piece of metal dude, 8)

[Apac102]

I think everyone gets in an accident one time or another....its bound to happen. People will be pissed because they were scared that you could have been killed but they will forgive you because they love you. If the car was a Mclaren F1, then lol you are in some shit...but a car is a car. THis is a step in your life were it shows how easily it is to die and don't take life for granted. I got in an accident, screwed up my car, parents and family were pissed but they got over it. I still get shit for crashing my car but jokingly.

Everything will be fine :)

[blah]

Man bro that sucks. What part of so cal did it happen in? Im hoping not by the pepperdine area, because i know the drop off is about couple thousand feet, to the canyons below, plus there are mountain lions and shit in there.

[altedza]

azusa. i found out today my amp was stolen at the collision center :f i had a really awful day today. more and more bad stuff i dont even want to list :/

[blah]

damn what a bunch of bitches these people are. do you have enough proof to take this to small claims?

[altedza]

hmm could i get media access back so i can watch some movies? im so terribly bored and sad :f i think my cars going to be 'processed' tomorrow. im just totally miserable :/ i got my license replaced today though. $19 :[ thats like 4 hours of painstaking scrubbing at my job earlier this summer. stole my wallet... i cant believe it :[ i drove again today though, like you guys told me to do. moms 2004 x5. kinda freaked but wasnt too bad.
