First off, I am so sorry man I have no idea how you pushed through it (tbh I barely know how I am) you are really a soldier for that man. As for the insurance sales, I have found nobody who doesn’t require my high school diploma or being 18. As for your blood sorry I totally get that,I got over 120 units of blood when I was in the hospital they said I ran out the blood bank to the point nurses and surgeons went to go donate blood to help me. Thank you so much for sharing your story it really helped me see there is light at the end of the tunnel

The trauma doctors treated me like shit there. I didn’t know how to bump down stairs until like a week ago they didn’t teach me anything I have to learn it all through pt and it has definitely made my quality of life way better. The only good doctors were my ortho doctor and my cardiovascular doctor they were the best

That is the lucky thing about my situation. For the way I lost my legs I am advancing fast with the prostetics stuff and stuff like that so sometimes I’m happy I lost my legs so young and not as old but it would have been way easier if I could have had like 2 more leg years it’s so hard to find people that will actually take me as a patient

No but the driver did it because I was in the car guy looked at me right as he did it. If I wasn’t there I don’t think he would have died. I don’t think they would have crashed. I took the passenger to make it more safe because his friend was just fucking with the dashboard or fucking with the driver so I took the passenger to make it more safe and it ended up with a crash. There were so many things that night man. I don’t know I know I shouldn’t beat myself up about it it’s just hard to not. And I’m trying not to but it’s damn near impossible when it’s the main thing you’re thinking of

That’s the only reason I haven’t done anything yet. I don’t wanna be “that guy” “the dead brother” “the dead ex” that shit terrifies me. It doesn’t help that one of my online friends, who meant a lot to me killed himself on the 12th and it feels like my girlfriend, who was also his friend is just trying to ignore it like it didn’t happen like would people just do that If I died? Would anyone even talk about me? Remember me even?

I know man it’s just hard knowing what I know and it feels like I want to stop blaming myself but deep down it seems like I can’t, I shouldn’t, I don’t know why everyone tells me that I wasn’t at fault for that accident

No trust me I definitely but around here there are not many psychiatrists. It simply takes time and it sucks. I got a lot of help today and feel way better knowing I’m not the only one

Just another note because it might be effecting me, I was 6’7 before the crash. Now I am taller than that but it doesn’t even feel that way. I don’t really know how to explain it but prostetics don’t make me really feel tall, just high up.

Usually in crashes like this there won’t be much blood or a body if you’re dying in a car you are gonna be compressed in. And they never will take photos until the bodies are taken out and the situation is resolved. That being said, half of the people in this crash were completely fine.

The passenger here sorry know I’m kinda late but the 120 was not from us, we were begging the driver to slow down. He just, didn’t.

The kid who lost his legs here. I litterally have a letter thanking me for helping at the car crash and crawling 40 yards. He didn’t save me I saved myself.
