Very depressed about recent car accident.

For the last 2 days i been pretty depressed and upset about a car crash involving a local girl about 9 months ago now.
My mate bought it up in conversation and i know this girl survived the accident but suffered brain damage.
But without sounding nasty, why does it bother me so much? i know its natural to be a little down about it but not this much.
I cant get the whole thing out my head even when i saw the guy who partially caused the accident i just wanted 2 hit him, again why?? and i feel like i should do something :frown:

could this all really just be a trigger as i lost a brother myself 6 years ago?
Sorry for such a long message

Dont worry about it

That is your human side talking

People all too easily see stories about tragic events and very easily turn the page

You are reconnecting with your human emotional side and there is nothing to feel ashamed about

Perhaps this girl could have been a sister, cousin, a friend... just putting her in that context has shown you how vulnerable we are

Talk to someone close to you and if they say you are being silly they are being very insensitive

Believe me the guy who caused the accident is probably getting grief from more people than you know

Edit: Sorry just saw the bit about your brother. My condolences to you and your family even though it happened awhile ago

My flatmate lost his brother in a hit and run. I have only been living with him for 7 months but I know he has flashes where he suddenly gets angry/irritable or very down. I know his other brother still hasnt gotten over it

My advice would be to speak to someone about your feelings. You need to let it out
