I’m sorry to hear about the accident and I’m so glad that everyone is okay. Good reminder about seatbelts – it’s SO important.
I think it’s common for trauma of any sort to trigger worsening symptoms of ADHD and I agree with your doctor that it will pass.
For now, I think it’s reasonable to take some time to come to terms with what happened and let your body and mind rest, if you are able – can you get paid time off work for illness?
If you can’t take time off, try to pace yourself and go easy on yourself. Even people without ADHD would be more forgetful or impulsive or ‘on overdrive’ after something like that.
Can you let someone you trust know what’s happening and help you keep track of things until you’re in a more secure place?
Good luck. I’m sure you’ll be fine quicker than you think!
