So I was diagnosed with PTSD some time ago over some traumatic things that happened in my past... I don't think that I do genuinely have ptsd though. I did want to post in here because the people on this thread can relate more to the situation than others... I hope...

Back in August a lot of bad things happened. On the way to the city (we live in a small town) to get myself a birthday present since the one I got had broken, a tow truck driver drove my boyfriend off the road in my car. He was driving and I was asleep in the passengers side. I woke up durring the wreck and it was horrible. We were in a small 2 door hatchback and the vehicle we ended up hitting was a Ford Explorer. The tow truck driver fled the scene but the Explorer was flipped by my little car. It rolled a few times and both vehicles were totalled. Luckily I always wear my seatbelt and make sure my boyfriend does too so we were both OK. For the most part at least. Until the next day when the cops came to my home and arrested my boyfriend under false charges... But that's a different story and has been cleared since.

Since the accident though, even though I must say there were much more life threatening scary moments in my life, I have not been able to drive well. I keep remembering the accident, I can feel the accident sometimes. When it replays in my mind I can still feel the impact of the vehicles and it scares me. This was a while ago, I feel like I should be over it. It has stopped me from renewing my license, trying to get a new car or driving at all. I am about to have to renew my license and drive for 7 hours interstate driving for a move I am making and I don't know what to do. My boyfriend has to drive the moving truck so I have to drive the car and I'm terrified! How do you overcome a fear like this? Am I being irrational? Does anyone on here have the same kind of fear, and if so or even if not, can I please get some advice before I take this long trip, I don't know what I am going to do or if I will be able to make this trip. I have DID from a past event when I was 4. I'm worried that my alters might take over driving and I'm pretty sure what I was told is that DID and PTSD don't normally go together. Which is the reason for doubting PTSD, plus I don't have flashbacks much. Unless you want to call that feeling of the wreck a flashback but I don't think that is called that since I know then and there I am where I am and not in the wreck.

I was just hoping, since everyone with PTSD has to learn to overcome these types of fears I was hoping to maybe get help on how to do it myself, any advice or anything at all would be very appreciated!
