Tips for DUI Victims

Many victims of Georgia drunk driving accidents often find themselves feeling powerless, anxious, and fearful after a serious crash. Prior to the accident, victims may have felt carefree and immune to being in a traffic accident or sustaining injuries. After a crash, however, the ways they think and feel have changed.Sadly, many DUI victims feel out of balance and are not as confident as they were previously. Fear and vulnerability creep in, and they have to work hard at having relationships, going out in public, or even driving again. Victims may suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), especially if they constantly relive the accident images over and over again in their mind.

If you are experiencing any of these emotional issues, you may find one or more of the following beneficial:

  • Talk with someone. Talking to a friend about your feelings could be helpful; however, getting professional therapy can be even more helpful by providing treatments that help with lessening the accident memories.
  • Write feelings down. Writing down your feelings in a journal can be therapeutic and make you feel better.
  • Get physical activity. Even if you don’t feel like it, go for a walk, clean the house, or exercise. By keeping your mind occupied, it can help you stop obsessing on the traumatic car accident.
