thanks. things have gotten somewhat better. driving still is challenging from time to time. I guess right now, I just have to remind myself that just because one car hit me, doesn't mean that all of them will! and just cuz some idiot wasn't paying attention and rear-ended me, doesn't mean that every car behind me has a distracted driver and will hit me!
it's a work in progress, as most of the time the fear is still too high and it takes over. and of course, still suffering from the crash injuries doesn't help either! long-term injuries and pain may prove to make all of this harder in the long run...
