My mental state might get worse. [View all]

Due to being hit by a mini van. My therapist thinks I might have PTSD now... I'm a little bit afraid of cars now. As in cringing the whole time I was coming home from the hospital.

Then there's the physical recovery itself. It's going to be very frustrating. I can't get out of bed by myself.

Edit: I was on foot on a crosswalk by the way. Two hairline fractures on my right hip and a bruised finger. Full recovery expected.
