Five years ago I was involved in a boating accident. Ever since then I have been a bit anxious. 2 years of my life went to fully recover, and now I am left with a few permanent scars which will likely not heal. My internal scars are merely me being increasingly anxious, more so than I was before the accident. I did not receive therapy and was able to return to a regular life. After a while, I was able to talk about it to my mom, and sometimes my dad very easily about it. Tonight at the dinner table my siblings were talking about their minor accidents and my accident was brought up by my sister. She began thoroughly recounting what was happening right before the accident. I flew into an uncanny panic and told her to stop over and over again. I kept my composure on the outside, but inside I was freaking out. What I don't understand is why this is affecting me after its been so easy in the past to deal with talk of it. Why do you think this is bothering me? All I want to do is move on from it all.

Replyits hard to let go of something that affected your life in such a traumatic way, you need to know its okay to feel this way and maybe some therapy would do you good
