TooOld4This Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Last night i had a car accident, so now i have a huge car repair bill and increased insurance premiums. And i'm being laid off from work; my position has been eliminated.I hate myself for my terrible driving. My suicide attempt, in fact, occurred after my first accident when i was 18. I've tried for decades to be a better driver, but i still have accidents. When i'm employed, i don't have time for a driving course and now, when i'm laid off, i'll have the time but money will be too tight to pay for it.I want so much to be a better person. But here i am, a lifelong failure.Feeling very low today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrmaJean Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm sorry this happened. I'm sorry you're feeling low and being hard on yourself. I hope you weren't injured. I still can't park very well or even attempt to parallel park, I can't drive over bridges or in the city or I have a panic attack.I don't know if it helps much, but I really enjoy your posts. You are insightful and positive. Thank you for your contributions here.What might you tell a friend who was feeling as you are now? Sometimes we are truly the hardest on ourselves.Take care.

Victimorthecrime Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Sorry to hear about the car accident. It's traumatic and awful, I know. You got laid off?? Didn't you just get that job around 6 months ago?? TooOld4This 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld4This Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thank you, everyone, for the posts above.I'm very susceptible to shame; so when people write supportive statements instead of shaming or giving advice,it really helps a lot.
