What Others Don’t See, But Survivors Live With
When someone survives a road traffic accident (RTA), it’s easy to focus on what’s visible, casts, scars, or hospital visits. Yet many of the toughest parts of recovery remain hidden from view, leaving survivors to carry burdens others don’t fully understand.
Some of these struggles include:
- Sleepless nights filled with flashbacks or racing thoughts.
- Memory problems or difficulties concentrating, often dismissed as “forgetfulness.”
- Loss of confidence in simple daily activities, from driving to socialising.
- Invisible pain – emotional distress that doesn’t show on the outside.
- Isolation from friends or family who assume recovery is “over” once the body looks healed.
These challenges are just as real as physical injuries, and they deserve recognition. By bringing them into the open, we can change the way trauma recovery is understood, and ensure survivors feel supported instead of misunderstood.
Press play when you feel lost – recovery is about finding yourself again.
