Short story: had to stop and direct traffic for a wreck (not a graphic one, no physical injuries) on my way home yesterday. 

I have severe anxiety and have never had to do something like this before. And ever since I got home, I’ve been feeling haunted by the whole experience and my brain keeps going over things and telling me I could’ve done better and I didn’t do everything right. 

I’ve tried reminding myself that I did my best and I was proactive enough to direct traffic away from the accident before things got messier and more complicated. But something in my mind is clutching to the “not good enough” anxiety/shame and it’s making me sick.

Also just saw a video of a busy road and an ad for a car, and both of those triggered the gut feeling of complete dread and disgust and shame.
