What to do to alleviate the stress after a car accident? Maybe somone with personal experiences?
Today, I was involved in a car accident: An elderly driver crossed over to the other lane in a tight turn and hit my car from the side. I was totally surprised. The air-bags went off and the car is smashed. I wasn‘t hurt badly: bruises on the side of the upper body, a scratch on the forehead and felt some kind of shock/stupor. It was diffucult to articulate to the police officer how it all happened. Later in the afteroon I was overly emotional and worried about long-term consequences.
Maybe also some useful advice regarding a healthy attitude towards the whole incident? To reduce rumination? Excessive worry?
Stuff like this scarces me.
