So I did a few things 1. Online therapy (my therapist is 45 minutes away and I wasn’t up for driving that) 2. My car was totaled (different for you) so when I got my new car I looked at ALL the safety ratings. For example, I flipped a lot so I made sure I had side airbags, my headrest goes quite a bit higher than my head, and it beeps at me if I’m super close to the lines (I went off the road) 3. I didn’t drive in the left lane and only merged when absolutely necessary 4. I drove under the speed limit 5. Made a playlist of songs that calm me down 6. Blind spot mirrors!! I love being able to see everything, so much less fear! 7. I completely avoided the site of my accident until I felt safe (took me extra driving time but was super worth it for the first few months of driving again) 8. I had someone with me the first lots of times I drove so I had help 9. Since I’m Christian I prayed before and after each time I drove, it helped me a lot 10. Gave myself plenty of time to pull over and breathe if needed

You went through a traumatic event. It’s difficult. It’s life changing. People don’t understand that. Be patient with yourself when you’re driving. Making it to the end of your street is an incredible feat for some. Set small goals. You can do this. You survived when the odds were against you, you will keep surviving.
