Car accident & earthquake

Hi all..

I guess my title is weird but it's what brought me to this forum.

A few weeks ago I was in a car accident, at night. The street lights were out and I collided with another car. I was not hurt and the other driver was not hurt, thank God. His car was totaled. Mine was damaged but it's being repaired.

So nothing terrible happened but I'm now very anxious about driving, especially at night. I've done it but it's difficult.

And that earthquake near Mexico City - my daughter and granddaughter live pretty close to there. Nothing happened to them or their home. Actually the baby slept through it. But the pictures from there, people trapped - it is horrific. I live in California so earthquakes are inevitable. Odds of them having results like in Mexico City are low and I've never worried before but now I do.

So thinking of these things can really freak me out and I feel not normal, like I want to control the uncontrollable, to feel safe.

Any suggestions?

Btw I do not take any medications, I rarely drink, never use drugs. I see a holistic practitioner and he is helpful. I work long hours and it is sometimes stressful but it's also a supportive environment.

I don't want to be afraid.
