I was driving to work at 4:30 am and a deer ran out into the road in front of my car.
I was in shock and had trouble working out what to do.
Thankfully the deer was killed outright and didn't suffer.
I called the police, called my workplace, waited for the police to come.
I arrived at work 40 minutes late and had to get everything ready for more driving (I'm working as a driver atm).
I wasn't 100% sure that I should be driving, since I was still quite shaken, but I drove carefully and managed.
I got through my shift somehow, feeling pretty dazed and once the adrenaline wore off, I was feeling exhausted and stressed.
Dealing with the car insurance has been another big stressor today - I won't go into the details but it's been complicated.
Went to see a Dr for work-related injuries and he wrote me off sick for the rest of the week with mild whiplash.
This has come on top of a very stressful situation (family/ housing/ breakup/ financial) and my brain's not coping very well.
I'm having trouble getting re-regulated and grounded, I feel like everything is spinning out of control.
