Answer 11

For most people who are in a traffic accident, their feelings go away over time. However, some people's feelings don't go away or they become stronger, changing the way the people think and act. Strong feelings that stay with a person for a long time and start to get in the way of everyday life are signs of a condition called post-traumatic stress. If you have post-traumatic stress, you may have some of the following problems:

An ongoing, general feeling of uneasiness

Problems driving or riding in vehicles

Not wanting to have medical tests or procedures done

Irritability, or excessive worry or anger

Nightmares or trouble sleeping

A feeling that you're not connected to other events or people

Ongoing memories of the accident that you can't stop or control

Talk to your friends and relatives about the details of the accident and how you thought, felt and acted at the time of the accident and in the days after it.

Stay active. Exercise often and take part in activities (anything that doesn't bother any injuries you sustained during the accident). Your family doctor can help you figure out how much you can do safely.

Follow up with your family doctor. He or she can give you referrals to other health care providers if necessary, monitor your recovery and prescribe any medicine you may need.

Try to get back to your daily activities and routines. Traffic accidents make some people limit what they do. It's important to try to get back to your usual activities, even if you're uncomfortable or scared at first.



Learn to be a defensive driver. Driving or riding in cars might be hard after the accident. You can lower your risk of future accidents or injuries by driving carefully, wearing your seat belt at all times and avoiding distractions while you're driving. Avoid driving when you're tired. Never drive if you've had alcohol or taken drugs or medicines that affect your judgment.
