sometimes I think if I wasn’t involved in a accident/ road rage would my life be different. Would I love a normal life especially with out fear depending where I’m driving to or what hour of the night I still think someone is following me . I was headed home one night or early morning about 1:30 am when someone started to follow me . I didn’t realize until I made a right turn and pressed on the gas , immediately I called my daughter and told her I’m almost home but I think someone is following me . Well that was the last I knew unfortunately this person got on the left of me and hit my car . I crashed into a tree , my car did a wrap around , I remember crawling out thinking this person is going to kill me . Little did I know my lung was punctuated with 5 broken ribs . I couldn’t breath I thought I was dying and all I remember was telling God please forgive all my Sins . I didn’t even think about my children all I wanted was to be forgiven to enter the kingdom of God . I was then rushed to the nearest trauma center . There more to my story but I feel I don’t live a normal enjoyable life , I jump when a car honks or someone comes up to me people ask me are you okay lol , I been on anxiety meds all these years , I have tried to come off of them which I did for three month but only to have a panic attack.

I hate this for you. I’m sorry you live in fear because someone else made a decision to do something stupid. I don’t have any advice but hope you feel better knowing someone heard you. I’ve been in a couple bad accidents too but I have always been a nervous driver. I literally hate it. I’d rather stay home so I really do understand.
