I'm glad you're ok
I had a really therapeutic conversation with an insurance rep when they called to get the report since there was another driver involved. Oddly enough. I managed to have this convo without outing myself too much, but anyway, she reminded me that it's called an "accident" because that's exactly what it is, everyone has moments of lapsing at the wheel that are unique to them, and sometimes it ends up unluckily. For me it was lost time which is an unsettling feeling, but everyone has their own ways of "checking out" in times of stress, too.

Thank you! My arm is still bruised and sore but I am thankful that is all.
It's really causing me to me anxious about driving. The other time something like this happened, I was driving to see my counselor. I was on my way there and all of a sudden I didn't know where I was. I had passed the street I was supposed to turn on and found myself at a dead end traffic light and didn't know how I had gotten there.
This happened with the light pole and I keep going back and trying to mentally backtrack to see what happened. Was it really a blind spot or was there a "shift"? I can accept the blind spot explanation. Accidents do happen. If there was lost time there, I'm having a problem.
I'm not sure what or how I feel about it.
