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!
