It’s so fricking scary whenever I’m on the bus and suddenly we go over a bumpy patch on the road. It freaks me out and I’m just reminded of the horrible sensation I felt when I was in the accident. Just the sudden impact, the ringing in my ears, the smell of rubber, just all the awful unpleasant feelings. I get so anxious whenever I see a big truck pass by because I just feel like we’re gonna get hit.

I’m already super paranoid to begin with, so that makes it worse. I’ll feel like I can’t breath because of it, and will clench my teeth cause we could crash at anytime. I know it’s such a silly fear, and my parents made a joke about it as well, “oh don’t tell me that you’re scared of cars now?” After the accident and I feel like I can’t talk to anyone about it.
