I'm scared to ride in a car now. I know what I experienced wasn't even close to a "bad" car crash. but every time we stop more sudden than usual, every time we are pulling out of a driveway, every time my dad starts to drive at higher speeds, I can picture an accident, and I can hear the sound again. I can picture myself slamming my head off of the seat in front of me again. I can feel the bruise around my eye forming. and I can remember the shaking of fear I had as I scrambled to get out of the car and look at what had happened.
how terrified would I be now if it had been a bad accident?
