If anyone ready my last thread, they know I'm already overstressed and going through a lot with my anxiety and med changes and problems eating. Now this is the icing on the cake. I walked out to the parking lot of my apartment this morning to go to work only to discover my car has been stolen. Gone. Sometime between 5:30 last night and 7:30 this morning. I'm totally freaking out. I kept looking and looking because part of me was worried that I blanked out or something and parked it somewhere weird, but I can't find it anywhere. I even made my roommate come help me look. I filed a police report, but let's be honest. I'm not going to get it back. My finances are stretched thin as it is. I can't afford this. I'm really scared I might do something but I don't really know what. I sort of SIed a little already but it was an accident if that makes sense. I don't want to go into details because I don't want to trigger anyone, but I'm panicked. I'm terrified of public transportation, but that's my only choice right now. I get massive panic attacks just thinking about navigating buses and the metrolink (our subway system). I can't handle this right now.

I'm going to suggest to you what I always suggest to anyone in a crisis: ACCESS YOUR RESOURCES! Sounds stupid, but most victims fail to recognize that they have outside resources that can be a huge benefit. Certainly, you have family members, friends, other associates and professional human services personnel who can offer you guidance, support, counseling, and assistance? I hear what you're saying: that the theft of your car is only the most recent disaster among a string of problems - but hey, as I used to say to the other prison inmates, "Good luck follows bad luck - and your bad luck can't last forever."

I am so, so sorry. Wow.

jesusplay, I have insurance, but it only covers damage I would do to another car in an accident. My ins doesn't do anything for me if my car is damaged by an uninsured driver and it doesn't replace my car if it's stolen. I'm "working poor"...can't afford full-coverage ins.

Thank you sister rags. I have liability only. I can't afford more than that. I can barely afford what I'm paying for now. And yes, I have family, but that doesn't make it suck any less. They're not made of money either. Emotionally supportive, sure, but cars and health services cost money. And no, jesusplay, I don't have health insurance either. I only work part time. I'm doing the best I can.

If it were a new/er car, yes, comprehensive insurance is a must.
If it were an older vehicle, many of us carried liability only.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
