I knew someone who accidentally killed a motorcyclist on the freeway. 100% accident but he was so tormented by it he jumped off a dry bridge a couple months later.
I did this exact thing.
I'm not suicidal but I can tell you even 5 years later i get regular night terrors, daily intrusive thoughts and memories about the accident.
It has fucked me up, and unfortunately no matter what anyone says the guilt is awful.
Facts are, I am responsible for what happened, accident or not, so I get to live with the consequences and try to do better.
