girl help: I was in a car accident in Oct. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I was in a car accident in Oct.

I don’t know how it all happened but I have recieved three very grusome scars on my face. one across my forehead, the other two going down from the forehead half way down the sides of my nose. (the scar/cut on my right side is about a mm away from my eye) I’m not a pretty girl in my body. Heavyset and untoned, and all I had was my face… Can anyone give me an idea to look past the scars and stop being so depressed?

I’m sorry about the accident and am glad you’re okay! Something like that is hard to adjust to it’s a good thing that you didn’t lose your eye. I don’t know if I believe everything happens for a reason, but this may be a way for you to find your inner beauty and work on yourself phsically. Exercise is a great way to deal with anger, maybe it can help you come to terms with this.
I am very heavy and always have been. If, however, I hadn’t struggled with my weight my whole life I would be a different person today and have different values. My weight led me to a path of health that I would never have cared about otherwise. If you look hard enough you will find a way to make this positive.

a friend once told me that a scar represents you, it may not be the best story to tell but its a story, she had burns on 50% of her body and wasn’t ashamed of them. i admire her for her personality not for her looks. you should realize that the person who only looks at the looks of a person is not one to be had. the one who sees you as you are not as you look is to be like gold. this is only one thing of who you are, life is full of trials but at the end of those trials you will prevail

Thank you both. I will listen to the both of you and I can say the accident has changed me for the better, but only time will tell if my mind can handle everything.

Dear Anonymous,

I am very sorry to hear about your accident- 13 years ago, I was in a serious car accident- which required 51 stitches in my forehead. Today, I still walk around with an uneven, un-smooth scar on my forehead. I was sixteen at the time, and in the middle of high school, and was very self conscious. What I can promise you, is that over time, the horror of it does pass. Once I found the strength to accept the permanence of the change in my appearance, I was able to move on. Sure, new people I meet may notice it, and may or may not say something about it, but I carry myself with confidence, and people respect me for it, rather than feel sorry for me. Yes, it takes time, but you can do it. The most important part is that you survived the accident and thought it may not seem like it now, but time will make things better.
