Yes it can cause depression to not be able to do things you once did.

Yeah, b/c if you were in a car accident, and it looks like it was a really serious accident...you can get afraid/triggered when it comes to driving a car, or even riding in one.

It can be frustrating...but hopefully with some therapy...maybe some EMDR, it might help ease you back in.

Joyce Meyer has said...'Do it Afraid!'

Easier said than done, but one day you'll have to face it, if you haven't already.

Then work on being a defensive driver.
