Shaking And Scared Again

I agree with Froggie; I find it courageous and very responsible of you to confront that truck driver. I think that's a reason to feel good about yourself. The little setback after that, pah, that's just PTSD being scared of how well you're doing ;)

I wish you all the best for your big drive! I do believe that you can calm yourself enough to do it well. And even if not, I'll still think that you're great and you'll still be cared about by a lot of people. Big drives come and go, KP remains awesome.
 
I will not give in.

This morning I did a community car drive. On the way home I was following a garbage truck. All of a sudden a piece of something came off the truck and hit a car drving towards us.

The road was bendy and as I followed the truck he stopped, I pulled in and explaind what I'd seen. The driver went to check out the other car, luckily the driver was ok and no damage to her car. It was a piece of the trucks bumper.

I was calm, I was not shaking, I was proud I'd coped with something else. Especially after yesterday.

I feel if not confident then ok about tomorrows 3 hour journey.

Can't wait to tell T later
 
I drove to York yesterday, it took me just over 3 hours. It was amazing I feel fantastic, I am invincible, I am confident, I can go where I please. Wow, wow, wow.

I was calm, listened to music, refreshed my air freshener with essential lemon oil to keep me grounded.
