I tagged mine as anxiety because in 2001 I had a bad car accident. We were sitting at a red light stopped when a big truck rammed into us so hard, he put the back bumper against the back seat. my mother broke a bone in her neck, the airbags drove my DDs glasses into her face and eyes, I fractured my left wrist...I was overly cautious since then, but the anxiety doesnt match with the event. I see brake lights ahead and panic that no one else is going to stop in time, or I see a car coming up behind me when traffic is stopped and I am scared that they will not stop in time. Most cars zip right up to you and stop an inch from your bumper. I want more space!

This article gives me peace. Thank you for sharing.
