Hi, I only read your introductory post. I have not read the entire thread yet, although I usually read like that I didn't this time - so I didn't know about the car crash. I read only a few short responses of others underneath before responding.
I've never thought you wouldn't be empathetic... that was not directed towards you. I am talking about others who always come to attack people on this type of thread. These people are very real, I'm fighting them off on depression threads every time. I am fine regarding depression now, but I have some empathy left for others who are not.
Probably shouldn't have responded at all. I believed I was completely fine, but as I started talking, I gradually realized how much I was not feeling well and still dealing with impact. Which is probably why I didn't give attention to other peoples' struggles... I'd have probably read up after responding but things went how they went. I don't like revealing any weakness either, so that really stressed me out. I don't know, did I do bad here? I suppose. It wasn't on purpose, but I guess sorry for being self centered for a moment.
