Ok, so I have unfortunately had a huge morning. I don't even really know where to start but I feel as though I need to let everything out and my blog has always been the place where I can do that, so here it goes.
This morning whilst I was on my way to work, I got caught in some loose gravel and had a really bad car accident. I totally flipped my car (which is now completely destroyed). I pulled myself out of my car through the smashed window (whilst it was still upside down) and a car stopped to help me. Luckily I was ok, although I really don't know how I was. If you had seen my car you would not have expected the driver to be ok but luckily I was.
My dad came and waited with me until the ambulance arrived. I didn't think I needed an ambulance but the couple who first stopped and helped me called me the ambulance anyway. So I really had to wait and go back to the hospital in the ambulance where I was checked over by my doctor. The fire engine, police, SES and paramedic also all arrived whilst I was still there at the scene. Besides some grazes on my face and some bruising to the rest of my body I am completely fine which really is amazing.
I am just so happy that no one was coming in the other direction as I crossed onto the wrong side of the road before hitting a road sign and rolling. I seriously would never have been able to forgive myself if I had hurt somebody else in the accident too. It was so awful and scary and I just so wish that I could turn back time and live the morning over again but unfortunately I cant do that.
I know I just need to be thankful that I am ok as I so easily could have died during the accident. I am also happy that I did not have anyone else in the car with me as that would have been awful also. So for now, I just have to rest and consider myself lucky that I am ok. Yes it sucks that my car was not insured but atleast I still have my old car so I will still be able to get to work each day, once I am well enough to go back.
As my mum said, this is nothing compared to what I have been through in my life however it is still obviously very unfortuate that it has happened. I know that I can get through this, I just need to be strong and keep looking after myself.
I was diagnosed with Anorexia almost three years ago and have been battling it ever since. On my blog I share different experiences that I have had when I was really sick, as well as the progress I am now making as I try to recover. Since creating my blog I have never felt more motivated to recover and I hope that through writing about my recovery, I will be able to inspire people with eating disorders to fight for a happier and healthier life.
