Hello,

I‘m sorry to hear of everything that happened to you recently. There is no way you could have prevented what occurred. You should not in any way blame yourself for any of these things.

It does sound like you might benefit from therapy. You can talk through your fears, concerns and worry and learn techniques to heal.

It sounds like post traumatic stress ......make an appointment and see a therapist ....tell them everything.....it can help tremendously....get these feelings out of you so you can go on.... you have a huge burden on your shoulders .....be good to yourself and reach out....this forum is a first step but there is excellent help out there. Good luck to you

Its sad and very understandable. Driving can bring lots of issues and have a mental impact. Unfortunately you must relax. Driving is like thinking the more you try not to think something the more worse it becomes. My sister has had a lot of accidents because she has similar thoughts to you when driving, although maybe not so often, but she is very cautious. You must relax, and stay safe.
