I Realize That I

@RavenGirl I too have a sister that I can never have the relationship I want and need but I have finally just accepted her as she is and things are doing better between us since I became more accepting of her but have weopons grade boundaries with her:hug:

I had a aha moment today where I realized the root cause of my driving anxiety and that is a hit and run me and my husband experienced many years ago. The driver was going so fast and hit us from behind and then totaled our car and then took off so fast afterwards. It was a traumatic experience for us both and that is when my anticiaptory stress while driving began never had that before. I get into flight or freeze or fight mode before I have to travel on the freeways. I am a good driver and I drive ok but stress out over the other drivers around me. Time to examine this one more deeply.
 
Okay, after getting the comfirmation from my psychiatrist, I realize I will never be a functional person :P Or rather by his words, the best I can hope is "relatively disfunctional". :) Sorta a spoiler though, like, who likes spoilers when watching movies or shows... Uhhh.
