Storm,

I've witnessed a couple of accidents and it was very hard to get them off my mind for weeks or months afterwards.

I don't know how long ago this happened but remember that anxiety, etc is not even labeled PTSD until six months AFTER the "trauma". In other words, it is totally normal to "obsess" for a few months. If you see what I mean...

It is really really disturbing to see someone get hurt, to come close to getting hurt ourselves. My son (2 y o) had to have surgery last Xmas. I sitll get the shakes every time I notice the scars (which I notice quite a bit, as he's been swimming a lot and they are on his back.)

Anyway, I just want to validate that your anxiety is very normal. Have you tried doing deep breathing or other exercises to calm down when you start thinking of it?

Oh, and I'd keep to the paths, too, legal or not. Safety first, ya know?

M
