Hi megffi and welcome.

I am so sorry to hear of this frightening experience. I am so glad to hear that you are now okay and doing well physically at least.

As far as the re-living of the incident though, that sounds like it is taking its toll on you. It is understandable, I am sure that anyone would deal with this to some degree...but if it is disturbing you to the point where it is affecting your everyday life and quality thereof...then you will want to seek help.

Ask your doctor for a therapy referral...preferrable someone with a background in treating what could be PTSD. This is treatable, and you will likely feel such relief from talking to, and working with someone who can help.

I wish you the best in this. Keep posting with us as well if you find it helpful. We have many members with traumatic experiences both physical and emotional who will be here for your support!

Talk to you soon,

Scaredy Cat

I agree with SCat.  What  you are experiencing is not unusual.  You can get past it, but some therapy (probably for a limited period of time) is likely to be very helpful.   Best wishes, medved
