I can just imagine how scary being in an accident can be. Hopefully you'll find another car soon and you'll start feeling safe again. Wish I was there to help you.

Give it some time.......you had a bad accident and, I'm sure, that it's natural to be afraid now. When something like that happens it really makes us thnk about what could have happened and our mortality. Wish that I was there to give you a hug!!!
Look for a car on your own but make sure that Steve and a mechanic are available to check it over. Men tend to check out the mechanical stuff more than we do. I wish that you lived close to us because Glen's really good at checking out stuff like that!!

Awww Judy. It's normal to feel like you do after a car accident. It had to have scared you to death, whether you realized it or not. Give it some time. I don't blame you for not feeling safe in your car now. Maybe you can get the struts replaced and it will drive better.
Hope you find you a different car soon and maybe you will feel better. Here's a hug from me

Judy, it sounds like you have a big case of post- tramatic stress. It's a very real thing that happens after something like what you have been through. Give yourself a few days before you make any major decisions, and let your kids help you. Maybe Steve can find you a good car to look at.

PTS??? I always think "I'm too tough for these things!" I guess not! I went to a used car dealer close by today. He's going to look for me, and so is my mechanic. A friend told me about another place close by today also, so I will head over there tomorrow. I have a Women's Network shindig tonight, but I am not going. I am hibernating....probably should go, but I just do not feel like socializing. I did call two women from there, and they were wonderful! I also called a therapist and made an appointment for next week. At least I can have a shrink around for this nervous breakdown!!!

YES, PTSD. It gets the best of us, even Iron Woman Judy!
 It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Like you, I like to hibernate when I'm feeling like that. Do what feels right. You are making progress by putting out feelers to find a car. I think that will really help - the car feels unsafe which makes the stress of driving it even worse. BIG HUG!
