I was in an accident recently someone hit the back of my car both cars are gone. I have been in pain and my anxiety level high plus not sleeping much. I have a lot on my plate daily, I want a break and peace. Now I'm not wanting to drive anymore because of fear.
sorry to hear that hope all involved are ok.
I'm injured and can't stand long etc plus I'm scared to drive again. Thanks
"Now I'm not wanting to drive anymore because of fear. "
I don't know if this is going to help, but I'm going to throw it out there.
A little over 10 years ago, I was in a rough car accident, and (like you) the car was gone.
.
I think that it's "normal" and "normal people" (AKA people without anxiety or depression) are going to be shaken up or have stress from a car accident.
What helped "me" out, was getting a different color car, and slightly different body style that I could afford. (which wasn't much, but hey I was just looking for reliable transportation)
So yeah, I was still shaken up when it came time to drive again, but over time I got over it. (more on that in the next post)
(purposely breaking this up for the sake of reading fatigue)
Here.. Truth be told, I avoided that intersection for a while where the accident took place.
I went out of my way to drive around and past that intersection. (and that's fine, I needed to do that because it was stressing my anxiety out)
Eventually I got to a point where I was more comfortable driving in general, and (during non rush hour times, this was more late night/early mornings) I made it a point to purposely drive through that intersection, and once I got over that, I was good.
Sure I'll remember the accident when I drive through that intersection, but the anxiety and stress are gone, because I've safely drove through it many times.
.
To recap things up this is what I would suggest to you.
Try to get a different color car that's within your budget.
Drive close around the block a few times (if needed) by your house.
Avoid the place where the accident took place, until you are pretty much comfortable driving anywhere but there.
& Then in the early morning or late at night with little to no traffic, eventually practice going through that intersection, until you get comfortable with that too.
& If you struggle with any of that, then tell a trusted family member or friend to come along, or be on a bluetooth headset call if needed.
This is what worked for me, and hopefully it works for you too. 
AnxiousSilver....you always are right on with your responses.I totally agree in how you perceive issues. I can tell you have experienced
this yourself and have learned. xx
Thank you.
Honestly though, I have a long way to go with my recovery.
That's just me being real.
.
IDK.. These last 5 years have been the hardest 5 year stretch that I ever had to live, and I'm still dealing with a lot of problems.
Unfortunately, I'm not at a point to share yet, and part of that is because there's still a lot of stuff that is piling on ATM .
I get that, "You can't really help others until you help yourself kinda stuff", but I'm not there yet.
.
What I can say, is that "for now" helping others does help me out a little bit with my own anxiety, and I can use all the help that I can get ATM. (if that makes any sense)
And my friend we are here to help you walk the walk.It always a little easier with people who understand and care xx
