Delayed shock.?

Question

I was in a car crash this morning, no one was hurt, but the shock of it didn't hit me until a few hours later. I became shaken and tearful. Have you ever had a delayed reaction?

Answer 1

yup it's your adrenaline kicking in good you don't wanted to be shaky and crying at the scene

Answer 2

delayed reaction is quite common. it's the 'fight or flight' effect when you get a sudden rush of adrenaline. you obviously coped quite well to start and the shock comes out later.

I once cut my hand very badly, but as i was on my own, i dealt with the gushing blood, gave myself 1st aid, drove myself to hospital, parked etc, but as soon as i handed myself over to the nurse, and let go of the responsibility i became a gibbering wreck (until the anasthetic kicked in and i was ok again)

Answer 3

Yes it is common. U finally realize how near U were to dieing.

Answer 4

Yes I have many years ago and what you need to do right now is go and see your doctor for your protection and get checked out.
