Hi there,
I suffer from PTSD from a car accident, I wasn't driving but front passenger. A car was driving on the rode and hit us head on. I was 17 at the time and never learned to drive out of fear and constant panic attacks from even getting in a car. I still jump if I think a car is going to hit us and can vividly visualize every aspect of the potential accident... It's a day by day battle for me. This is just a basic summery of what happened to me.....just Believe me, it is NOT ridicuous to be fearful of something. Everytiime we pass the spot of the accident (which is near where we live) I just have to block it out... maybe I should (4 some odd years later). Not trying to pour my delimma on you, just lettign you know that it is ok to feel the way you do.
