My guess is its pretty bad. You obviously have 0 clue about driving in the first place judging by your explanation of events. I would suggest selling the car to someone who can drive it properly and investing the money into a prius and some driving lessons.

^I would have to agree.
OP - did the car lose control or did you? It seems like you were in control, or the car was, and then you hit the gas, or the car did, then the car lost control and you hit the cuz. If the car lost control, you should probably go yell at it.

Come on guys give the chap a break. Not the best presentation I admit of his plight
What year is your car?
What has been damaged?
Did just 1 wheel hit the curb?
Was there a guard rail to damage the body?
Did an airbag go off?
If just one rear wheel hit the curb and it didn't bend the frame them my guess is that you will be replacing both control arms and a wheel at the very least. You could also need a new hub and a rear axle. Probably would not have hurt the diff.
Sorry that it happened.
It happened to me in a Honda Fit 
yep I snap oversteered a Honda Fit into a guard rail. Not that most people care about a Fit. We all make mistakes hopefully you learn from it. Hopefully the s2000 can be repaired. Unfortunately the s2000 is not a forgiving car and it's the kind of car that puts the blame solely on you maybe there was a bit of gravel maybe it was too cold for the tires. Who knows. Keep driving anywhere near the car's limits to the Track or Autocross. If you can't afford to do either (Autocross can be as cheap as $30 for 8 runs) and you want to drive near the limit on the street be prepared for stuff like this.
