Car accident, need help.
Posted 2 years agoOctober 27th, I was in an accident involving 7 vehicles.
The summed up version is that : Semi driver fell asleep and hit a pickup truck, swerved across multiple lanes and jackknifed, I was in lane 1, far enough back to slow down, but a car 2 lanes to the right of me swerved across hit me off the passenger wheel, spun me into the wall, bounced off and got Tboned. I am incredibly lucky my car was mid spin as I got hit, otherwise that car would have hit right off the driver's door instead of the rear.

I consider myself blessed as I was able to walk Away. Im sore as heck, got bounced like a ping pong ball, and my car is probably totalled, but I'm counting my blessings.thank God I was alone in the car.

Life update
Posted 3 years agoSo back on April first I had to go to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy, the initial bill was close to 100k. I just received the adjusted final bill for 26k. My insurance paid $1500. 1 5 0 0. the amount of wrath and rage I have bubbling is immeasurable. I'm angry, I'm tired. and I'm just in general defeated. I've been trudging along and pushing and fighting my way forward and I'm just done with this shit. "If you're going through hell, Don't stop, Keep going" but man, its a long fuckin road.
Hit an run.
Posted 6 years agoLast week i was involved in a hit and run in my car, Took it like a champ. Bull Bars took it like a champ.
Got a dented fender from where the bar bent in, but would have been my whole front end if not for them.

I Amost Died.
Posted 8 years agoThursday morning shortly before 5 am while working, I was driving, I was taking a right hand curve and my truck suffered a double blowout of the rear axle on the drivers side, the rims gouged the asphalt and resulted in me flipping my 60,000 pound work truck, I think as the truck began to fall, I got my arm up and took the glass to my arm and elbow, rather than my face (instincts rock). I did suffer a pretty bad concussion so my memory is a bit...missing but Ive been getting filled in on bits and pieces.
The first responding officer Stopped my manager (whose been running my route) to ask how I have been doing. He told my manager that "That Crazy bastard was already unbuckled and trying to climb out by the time I got there "
He also told my manager that "Ive seen a ton of accidents on that curve, and speed wasn't the reason he flipped, if it was, his truck would have crossed the median"
SO that makes me feel a bit better. My boss, told me that "it looks like something wedged between both tires and blew them out...it wouldn't have mattered if you were driving 1 year or 20 this would have happened, it was an accident and there was nothing you could do"
my injuries are as follows
Multiple Lacerations to the left arm and hand from the window shattering.
laceration to the head from impact resulting in concussion.
Laceration to right thigh.
Massive bruising to left thigh from seatbelt.
neck pain resulting from whiplash.
headaches, nausea whenever i get up lean over (resulting from concussion)
minor pain here and there.

Reflecting.
Posted 8 years agoI'm thankful for those I can call my friends, But even more so, for those I can call family. Not everyone is your friend,And you cant please everyone, you have people you associate with, acquaintances, Friends, comrades,Family. I believe family extends more than just blood relations or marriage. There are some people who you get so close to, For me, Nothing says it better, "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” Family is what you make of it. And I'm happy to say that without them, I probably wouldn't be here today. I'm a weak person. I put up my walls, force a smile, put on a show. I pretend like nothing is wrong while inside I'm screaming, tearing myself apart. I'll sit here alone with my thoughts and they are always negative. I cant find anything positive to say about myself. Hell, I've woken up every day for the last 9 years and felt like I'm on autopilot. I Cant find reasons why within myself. and Slowly I have come to realize You cant always find those answers inside yourself. That's where friends, and your family come into play Those who break down the walls you built around yourself, those who you can finally relax around.
I've been dealing with my own issues for years, some days are easier than others, and some, are so very hard...I feel like a burden to those around me, and the thoughts echoing inside "They only pity you" or, 'they aren't really your friends, you're just a joke to them" It's so easy to let shit from other people roll off, but when it comes from inside yourself you cant just ignore it. Why am I like this?
Another thing I've been dealing with is helping out my parents. IN the last year and a half, they've borrowed(more so taken) close to if not more than $25,000 from me, Loans taken in my name, bills coming out of my account hell...there was a point where i had to use my car as collateral for a loan (currently 2k still needing to be paid off) or we wouldn't have been able to make rent. I have a better paying job now and I still cant keep up with their mess....and its not like I can move out when they took out several loans online using my information and the payments come out of my account.
A friend said try a gofundme...but what would that do for me Not much aside from make me feel like I was begging I wont say I'm above that. But I wont beg others for help. I'm able to manage myself, even just barely and regardless, For my family, I'd have done this willingly, so as much as ill complain and bitch If given the option to, I would do it again. I'm an idiot right? exactly, who would want to help someone like me.
I have my own budget, I'm able to put a little aside to dick around with Snacks, some bullshit here and there. I should be saving more...but these little things i do spend on...well...they help me keep moving. Fuck, at least I'm not on drugs.
Which brings me to the final piece of my rant...even though I have friends, I'm lonely and it never goes away. I always feel like a burden, and I always feel alone.
I want to thank my friends for being there through my stupidity, when my mind assaults me, and helping me keep my head just a little above the water rushing in.
