My beautiful daughter
Hi,
Last Monday night 6pm a support worker was bringing my daughter home from Irish dance lessons, we live a short distance from a regional city so there is a highway where 100km is required to drive. The support worker did not want to hit a small rabbit so hard swerved, lost contrl of her car and it rolled to its roof, with my daughter on board. Its Thursday of the same week and we are not coping. Daughter is physically fine and doctors are amazed not a single injury to her body, but daughter was taking driving lessons has been for some time and we were gaining proper driving limit speeds, previously too slow.
I'm feeling really dark and low and can't seem to come out of this feeling, a doom feeling. I have my own mental ill issues. Does anyone know about a mind loop that is addicted to sadness. I focus on the sadness and hopelessness of it all, is this peptide addiction? I'm always feeling like a victim, I also think I am indulging in maladaptive daydreaming. I can't stop hugging my daughter it could have been so different. I think I have sick peptides.
I kept telling the support worker, be careful of wildlife, because we do have kangaroos that jump in front on the road, but this tiny rabbit was out on the major highway.
I dont know how to help or supprt my daughter, she is ASD with general and social anxiety. I dont want to increase her fears with my own anxiety, but also want to keep her safe. The hopeless feeling is all overpowering.
