MyPTSD Pro
To clarify, I had ptsd before my car accident. Since my car accident I go into full blown panic/crying episodes whenever I am approached in a near-miss and/or sudden/unexpected fashion from the same direction in which I was hit. I can’t even count how many times I’ve had these incidents, fortunately no accidents, but a number of near misses. I can even be triggered if I’m not the one driving and something happens in that direction. Last year I was triggered and it took me days to calm down. This was 11 months ago.
Tonight it happened again, but this time with a train. I was only driving about 35mph when as soon as I started to cross the tracks the Lights went on and the gates started to come down. Instinctually I looked to my right and saw the train, and it seemed awfully close considering the lights had just gone on. I was just in shock for about a minute and then lost it, crying the whole way home.
I know how to deal with my CSA triggers, I’m just not sure how to deal with this.
Thanks.
