I had a traumatic injury several years ago. I was in a car accident as a passenger in a car full of friends. The seat I was in got the worst damage. I ended up with a really specific injury that I think was actually more horrifying for the people around me who had to see it. My friends, and, I think, some nice people who saw the accident and pulled over to help were freaking out and screaming about how hurt I was while I was calmly telling them "no, guys, for the last time, I'm not fucking bleeding". Well, they weren't asking me, they were talking me. Deep down I knew I was pretty fucked but nothing hurt and I was just thinking "don't these people have eyes, wtf?".

Then someone snapped the rearview mirror off a car and held it up to me and I just started screaming my face off and then I blacked out. One of the most bizarre experiences of my life because that stuff is supposed to hurt like hell. It's so creepy to think about. I was really lucky though. We were really close to a great hospital and I made it out with very minimally life altering injuries. Could have been much worse.
