A Letter to Me

Dear Autonomic Nervous System,

While I am incredibly grateful that you work so well, I'm ready to stop some of the reactions that are still happening. For instance, it would be super if I wouldn't have an increase in Adrenaline and Cortisol every time I drive through an intersection, causing me to slow down through said intersection to make sure I don't hit any people. I'd also appreciate it if my anxiety to drive at night would diminish. It will also be great to stop having flashbacks of the accident when I drive. I am grateful that I haven't had a bad dream in awhile. I know this will be a slow process to get over something so traumatizing. I know I can tell myself that it wasn't my fault and it happened because of someone else's choices, but it doesn't erase the fact that it happened. I will be truly grateful when my mind, body and spirit can all be completely at peace. I'm grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who gives peace when I seek it and helps me through the healing process. I'm also grateful to know that there is a plan of happiness and that even though I don't understand why this accident happened a little over a year after another horrible accident in our family, I know that Heavenly Father loves me and knows that I can grow and become stronger through this. I also know that He gives me more time than I give myself because I sometimes don't want to accept that it will take awhile to get over this. So I guess ANS, I should cut you some slack, but work with me here, okay?

Sincerely,
Debbie
