Ok I'll be serious with this one because I'm having a minor meltdown. Recent I had my first ever car accident. I tried to break on a wet road, slid into the back of a Nissan who then shunted a van in front. Somehow I came off the best while the van needed a new door and the Nissan needs a new number plate and bumper. It's reaching the thousand mark so I may need to involve my insarance.
Now I've never asked them for anything and I got 7 years no claims. I don't know how this will fair with two cars involved, I'll be expecting to pay the excess but my premium could go up by god knows. So currently I'm waiting to hear back from the other driver about his estimate to proceed.
Because of this certain downfall I've had to cut back on things....like the fursuit. I don't know when I can afford that honestly and I'm crushed. Also no more art, sorry but I can't afford to pay people for a while. Mainly no more junk I don't need so I can focus on not loosing my house, car or job. My life feels like it's falling apart all over a stupid mistake that couldn't predict and now here I am yelling at a furry message board.
I'm scared.

And hey, cutting back on somethings is a valid thing, too. You don't have to try to apologize for that. Just take care of yourself, and the rest will fall into place.

Though I've had a similar accident to what you had, it rained, snowed, rained, and snowed again in the same day in the span of 3-4 hours while I was helping take a friend to a job orientation. On the way home, the road was so wet and slushy it was horrible to drive on, and when I tried to slow down for a turn lane my brakes locked up and wouldn't work, so I ended up hitting into the back of a car, barely damaged them but left our hood messed up, yet they tried making us pay for it still and got me a ticket. It sucks how helpless it feels and the whole PTSD of dealing with it after.
