(Rap), I don't know exactly all that you have gone through, and I am new to PC, but you sound like me, years ago. I am still in major depression disorder, and my hits and depression continue. I wonder why you are trying so hard to help people when you have so many other things on your plate, like caring for needy animals, and getting a therapist certification or whatever it is you are trying to accomplish in this field.

Perhaps a hobby, like embroidery, writing poetry, gardening, something that would take your mind comepletely off some of these burdens may help you in your left brain center, as hobbies and creativity are in your right brain center.

As a former claim adjuster, I know that the police officer had to probably ticket you if the other driver asked him/her to (and that may be out of anger on the other driver's part). Yes, it may be "your fault" in a civil proceeding, but let the insurance carrier take care of that. Do not dwell on that. They will take care of that for you. They will fight on your behalf, claim it was an unavoidable accident, due to an Act of God, or try to subrogate against the Hummer for sudden stop or something. Believe me, I have been there.

Let God take care of the details. He loves you, and you must take your faith, which is a gift from God within you, and use it. This too shall pass. I, too, need to take this advice after being ticketed for hitting a pole I couldn't see after trying to avoid an accident. I am going to court to fight it. I do not suggest you do; however, contact your insurance agent to see how many points against your record it will cost you, etc. Google, traffic ticketing and court proceeding or such and see what information you can find. Take positive steps.

God Bless you.
