Basically today, i got into a really small car accident where a cyclist came really close to my lane to the point she eventually smacked into my car and fell over. Her only injury was a small scrape on the leg and there was a scratch on my car. She said it was fine and neither of us called the police (i wanted to but she was in a hurry to a late appointment and i also found out she called the police after she left the scene). I panicked so hard and my anxiety shot up because it hasn’t even been a year since my last car accident. I know I shouldn’t have apologised because it could’ve been used against me but I couldn’t stop saying I was sorry…. 

Both my parents didn’t offer me comfort and continued to berate and scold me for being stupid for not filing that police report or for just being a moron and allowed that accident to even happen in the first place. I feel like shit. I don’t feel like driving anymore. My parents said the only right thing I did was to file a claim to our insurance. They kept going on and on for half an hour at how stupid I am and I just don’t…. I’m scared that the cyclist will somehow make it a really big deal and cause my parents to rage even more…..
