Oh my.

My mental state might get worse.
Due to being hit by a mini van. My therapist thinks I might have PTSD now... I'm a little bit afraid of cars now. As in cringing the whole time I was coming home from the hospital.
Then there's the physical recovery itself. It's going to be very frustrating. I can't get out of bed by myself.
Edit: I was on foot on a crosswalk by the way. Two hairline fractures on my right hip and a bruised finger. Full recovery expected.

1. Please look after yourself
and know that people here care about you.
<<<doesn't care a whit. **** her.
<<<has no idea why primitives think they should get medals, decorations, and accolades for enduring the ordinary vicissitudes of daily life.

2. Take care of yourself
If you have a therapist and can get to their office, go see them. Take care of mind and body.

3. Oh no!
How traumatic, I'm so sorry, Neoma! Treat yourself gently, and just concentrate on healing physically for now. What rotten luck, I hope you're not hurting too much.

4. Be well, and work with therapists, physical, occupational, emotional and psychological.
We are with you, Neoma.

5. i think it's natural to feel this way
i was in a car accident when i was a teenager and for the longest time i would cringe and grab the 'oh shit' handle if i caught a car coming out of the corner of my eye. it's been 17 or 18 years since the accident and i'm still a bit uncomfortable in the car.
take care of yourself and give yourself plenty of time to heal.

8. Me too. No reason to go straight to PTSD.
Rule of thumb in these things is the symptoms that distress you need to not be better associated with other causes--like the immediate shock of the accident, and they need to have some duration.
It may be something to watch, but I'm sort of surprised a therapist would go there. Usually they are pretty worried about laying the ground work that could lead to something factitious.

6. I'm having a similar issue
2 car related accidents and one near miss has really made it hard for me. I stopped driving for a year, took a bus or got a ride or walked or didn't go. Keep talking to your therapist. kind regards

7. hang in there.
this too shall pass. in the meantime it will suck, but.....
Again, I repeat:
I have no idea why primitives think they should get medals, decorations, and accolades for enduring the ordinary vicissitudes of daily life.
The practice of fortitude must be a lost art.

She was allegedly hit by a car on the 25th and by the 28th is diagnosed of PTSD.
I've been told it's easier to get on disabled for mental issues than physical issues. I wonder if that's relevant.

Obvious play for the disability gravy train. Next few threads by the DUmmie will be not being able to work from the PTSD.

No doubt. She is already setting the foundation of being afraid to ride in a car (which would compromise her ability to work)

Leave it to a DUmmy to parlay a bruised finger in to permanent disability.
These people are pathetic. I tried at one time to have some respect for them. but that is long gone.
Neome, is just another in a long line of DU parasites

Anyone care to wager that the light at the crosswalk was red?
DUmmies do stupid things when in a drug-addled state.

Cry me a river,you had an unfortunate event,some pain and some healing needed but to suggest you are now in some sort of mental state from it is idiotic.
This is why they want FREEEEEEEE health care...they want a doctor to pat their back and satisfy their infantile mind in the belief they should be cared for by everyone else.
Suck off a shotgun DUmbass.

Her first thread was all about getting access to pain medication/drugs for hairline fractures and a bruised finger.
I thought Neome threw herself (I'm guessing at the gender) in front of a car just to get drugs.
But of course, let no crisis go to waste.

I'm mystified as to why a primitive thinks it "deserves" a life without pain, without trials and tribulations, without troubles.
In fact, I think a primitive, any primitive, deserves far more pain and trouble than what they get.
It gives me a great deal of confidence about justice in this world, knowing that the primitives haven't seen nothing yet, when it comes to pain and trouble, because all the things they voted for are just now slowly coming into effect. When they're up and running at full speed, I have no doubt the primitives will know pain and trouble.

:II: Much easier. Normal (D)Ummy state anyway.
PTSD........ :whatever:

As much as I would like to think it would, all the pain they feel, if any, won't matter. They are simply incapable of understanding the consequences of the incessant repetition of a failing worldview. No. No sympathy whatsoever when the hammer comes down hard.

take care of yourself and give yourself plenty of time to heal. on the taxpayers dime.
Of course, the DUmmies answer to any minor misfortune or discomfort is.....

Got news for you, sister. That doesn't work on DUmmies.
Set up for government disability claim. Nothing more.

The look on their faces when they finally realize the communist butchers they long for are going to kill them as the useless riff raff they are would be priceless.

Impossible. You are already an Obama-voting DU Democrat.
Sounds like someone sees a path to a permanent SSDI check from her rich uncle, thanks to a painful but orthopaedically-nondisabling chance encounter with a car.

I think part of the DUmmies' biggest problem is they think they can vote their daily suffering away.
The most important two lessons one can ever learn is that life involves suffering, and your problems are not that important in the big picture. The DUmmies never learned them.

I separated my pelvis and fractured my fibula jumping from an airplane on the 13th of August last year. I still walked (most of the way) to the assembly area carrying 50 pounds of parachute and THEN went to the hospital for two days. I was back at work at least 2 weeks before I was supposed to, climbing stairs I wasn't supposed to climb. I was jumping again by the end of November.
Come back when you have a REAL injury, DUmmy.

She's sure she has a ticket to ride the the disability gravy train.
If this thread stays alive, expect DUmpmonkey envy to start kicking in.
A disability pension and a prescription for heavy-duty painkillers - a democrat's dream come true.

What a flake. :mental:
I was listening to some of Ira Glass' garbage on NPR earlier today and some woman was talking about "triggers" and "starbursts" she would get watching Home Shopping Network. These people are idiots.
There's another website I read that is mostly liberal that has constant "trigger" warnings and labels for articles that get posted. It's ridiculous.

True, but you wanted to jump and resume all your normal activities. She wants to be disabled so she can complain and get paid for it.

PTSD after a mini van tapped you while walking "ON" a crosswalk? Loser...

I slipped and fell on our evening walk tonight. Got myself another knee injury. Think I'll claim disability on Monday. It was probably because I was a little buzzed from wine, but who cares about the facts?

DUmmy Neoma is lying.
From the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV-TR):
Diagnostic criteria for PTSD include a history of exposure to a traumatic event meeting two criteria and symptoms from each of three symptom clusters: intrusive recollections, avoidant/numbing symptoms, and hyper-arousal symptoms. A fifth criterion concerns duration of symptoms and a sixth assesses functioning.
Criterion A: stressor
The person has been exposed to a traumatic event in which both of the following have been present:
The person has experienced, witnessed, or been confronted with an event or events that involve actual or threatened death or serious injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of oneself or others.
The person's response involved intense fear,helplessness, or horror. Note: in children, it may be expressed instead by disorganized or agitated behavior.
Criterion B: intrusive recollection
The traumatic event is persistently re-experienced in at least one of the following ways:
Recurrent and intrusive distressing recollections of the event, including images, thoughts, or perceptions. Note: in young children, repetitive play may occur in which themes or aspects of the trauma are expressed.
Recurrent distressing dreams of the event. Note: in children, there may be frightening dreams without recognizable content
Acting or feeling as if the traumatic event were recurring (includes a sense of reliving the experience, illusions, hallucinations, and dissociative flashback episodes,including those that occur upon awakening or when intoxicated). Note: in children, trauma-specific reenactment may occur.
Intense psychological distress at exposure to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event.
Physiologic reactivity upon exposure to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event.
Criterion C: avoidant/numbing
Persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma and numbing of general responsiveness (not present before the trauma), as indicated by at least three of the following:
Efforts to avoid thoughts, feelings, or conversations associated with the trauma
Efforts to avoid activities, places, or people that arouse recollections of the trauma
Inability to recall an important aspect of the trauma
Markedly diminished interest or participation in significant activities
Feeling of detachment or estrangement from others
Restricted range of affect (e.g., unable to have loving feelings)
Sense of foreshortened future (e.g., does not expect to have a career, marriage, children, or a normal life span)
Criterion D: hyper-arousal
Persistent symptoms of increasing arousal (not present before the trauma), indicated by at least two of the following:
Difficulty falling or staying asleep
Irritability or outbursts of anger
Difficulty concentrating
Hyper-vigilance
Exaggerated startle response
Criterion E: duration
Duration of the disturbance (symptoms in B, C, and D) is more than one month.
Criterion F: functional significance
The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
Specify if:
Acute: if duration of symptoms is less than three months
Chronic: if duration of symptoms is three months or more

To hear the DUmmies tell it, they all have most of these symptoms just from everyday life.
Pack of losers and moochers, every f'n one of them.

It sucks that they cheapen this affliction for people who are REALLY suffering from PTSD.

I pisses me off that my wife has to suffer with constant pain because these "people" have misused and abused pain killers to the point doctors are scared shitless to prescribe 1 pill more than what some asshole bureaucrat deems appropriate. :argh:

Nah, the sidewalk was probably maintained fine but there was a lack of properly spaced warning stickers indicating that concrete may be hard on bones and could possibly scrape knees. Sounds like a winning lawsuit to me.
-
I doubt that she can sue anyone. The Friends of Steve Dawes might arise and inform the court all she had was a bruised finger. Her own description of minor injuries and constant texting updates prove she wasn't in such pain that6 she was unable to keep up a constant dialog.
Matter of fact. maybe the friends could preemptively inform the disability board...

You're right. I should sue the HOA.
