What should I even say?

I was in a car accident Tuesday on my way to work and I’m currently 8 months pregnant. My doctor checked me the same day and everything was good but she told me to rest for until Thursday I can resume back to work. I went to work yesterday and I was fine but I started to get anxious driving to and especially from work. And now today, Friday, I’m 10 minutes late as of now because I’ve been puking from nerves. I’ve made it halfway down the road to work but just couldn’t handle it. I drove back home and now I’m sitting outside my house debating what to do. I feel so bad calling in again.

You're traumatized. That's to be expected after a major car wreck. I should know. The only thing for it now is to either call in or work up the nerve to continue driving. And Monday, you should maybe make arrangements to carpool.

@LordShadowfire yes it’s just crazy cause I was fine yesterday at first but I think once the nerves of driving settled in I realized how scared I was. And now today it’s unbearable. I will be looking into getting dropped off until I can shake the nerves

@Lupepnte PTSD sometimes just pops out of nowhere. Don't be too hard on yourself.
