About an hour and a half ago, we got a call that my brother and his wife were in a car accident. Someone hit them from behind, shoving them forward into the car in front of them. We got a call about an hour ago that they were using (or used) the jaws to get them out. And they were in or on their way to a nearby hospital ER. Shortly after the call everyone left to go to the hospital to wait for news and are waiting to see if they can see them. I'm here alone and things are not going well. I don't know what to do--because I know there actually IS nothing I can do. But I head butted the wall several times, something fell off and I stopped and came into the bedroom. I'm thinking a little more clearly now, but the urge to do something is still there. From complete frustration, worry, feeling so so so so helpless and knowing I have to wait until someone takes time to call. Which they don't always do, when things happen. I've been alone before when someone was in the ER and they never called at all. I don't know what to do.

update:
They are ok. The most serious thing with my brother is a sprained ankle. I'm not sure what is wrong with my sister in law--but they did a CAT scan and it was alright. The family that called is like an hour away--they called her, not me. F'ing lovely, as always. But one brother is ok, so that's good. And my sister is ok...so that's good too. -sigh of relief- |

BP,
hey, my idea would be to look up crisis hotlines, teen hotlines or just whatever kind of free phone in place where you can talk when you feel this upset about things. hurting yourself when you get upset is not a good way to do it. you can really mess yourself up and then they will have to take you to the doc. and they probably won't be very sympathetic. find someone SAFE AND TALK IT OUT WITH THEM. you can find other ways to defuse intense feelings than harming yourself! you deserve better than that so treat yourself better, please. leslie - someone who knows (like the rabbit!!!)
