Is it normal to be scared to fall asleep when it is dark after you have been in a wreck? Let me tell you the story. I went up into the city for my b-day. It was just a normal Saturday. Well at 8:00 we left the city and started to head home, well it is a two and a half hour drive and my mom and dad were onary. Well at 10:30 we were coming up to Fayette which is only five miles from Gunnison, i was asleep in the back by boxes for our New Years Eve party which was two weeks away. i woke up and two seconds later we hit something, at first i thought is was one of the tires, but after i saw the way my mom was acting i new we hit something and that thing was big. we went to the hospital to see if i had any internal injuries. i didn't but i had glass all over in my skin. My parents both had whip lash and glass in their eyes and mouth and ears i mean it was everywhere. That happened two years ago, and i still am scared to fall asleep in a car at night and sometimes in the day time. Is this normal?
