Is it normal to be frightened after witnessing a car crash

I nearly witnessed a car crash and was triggered to a point where I had so many what if thoughts that I didn't want to go back to work and wanted to be near my kids. I was worried it could have been someone I knew and even thought what if that was me and my kids in the wreck and was almost in tears thinking about it.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • Sounds like you had an anxiety attack, which is normal; but don't let it drive you crazy or control your life, because the car crash didn't happen, your family is fine, and you're okay.
