I think I died last night in a car accident.

I know the title may sound weird. I heard this thing years ago, it says when you die your brain envisions it continues living. You could “live” years in your mind while in real life only a second passes before your brain dies. You wouldn’t even know you’re dead for years.

I got into a car accident last night. I was T boned by another driver. The car hit the side I was on. They were going very fast. There’s no way I lived. I think what I said before is happening to me. I feel like a ghost. Like I’m disconnected from my body. I feel just like my spirit walking around the place.

This morning, I lost my ring I had that’s matching with my girlfriend. I’ve worn that ring every single day for almost 3 years. I can’t find it anywhere now. I think it’s the universes way of saying we aren’t really together anymore. I’m so sad. I don’t want to be dead. I had so much I wanted to do. I’ve talked with my girlfriend today but it just doesn’t feel the same. Nothing feels the same. I think it’s because it’s not really her, this isn’t really my life. It’s just my brains imagination of my life.

I know this probably sounds crazy, but I really am going through this

edit: hi, I’ve seen a lot of your comments that I might have a concussion. The car hit my car on the back seat/trunk area. I was physically fine, I got out of the car myself. I didn’t go to the ER. I thought I was okay & I couldn’t afford all those medical bills anyways. I might go back in to see if I have a concussion. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. I’m 21 btw.

I’m still really freaked out and I’m still not entirely sure what’s going on. I guess it’s a little comforting that people are talking about things that I never knew about. I told my girlfriend about how I feel and she said I was probably just tired. Idk. I’ve experienced dissociation a lot in my life but it’s never felt this bad. I feel entirely detached from my body. I’m gonna try and figure this all out.
