Why can't bad memories just fade away gracefully?

OMG, I just totally revisited our 2002 car accident all over again!
3:36 p.m., just 5 years, 9 days, 17 hours, and 54 minutes after OUR accident, I'm at the turn light on Sandhill, our lights are green, cars start heading through the intersection and a cab coming down Tropicana plows in to a little SUV, and rolls it into oncoming traffic and up on to the median. The SUV is totaled but, miraculously the 2 people in the vehicle are walking around. At least there wasn't a death, like in ours.

Why does this stuff happen to me? My same accident almost happened to me again about 6 months ago, AT THE SAME intersection as our first one, but going the opposite way, AND the car that ran the red light was was even white, just like the one we hit. What's with people and heading through red lights like they don't have to pay attention? Honestly, JUST like 2 months ago, I finally was able to start driving through the Trop/Eastern intersection without having a panic attack or bursting into tears and now this happens and totally rattles my trauma again!

I'm so sick to my stomach right now. Ugh.

And the clock starts ticking again...5 years, 9 days, 17 hours, 55 minutes...56 minutes...57 minutes

I'm gonna recommend you stay away from that particular intersection. I think you did something mean to it in a previous life... Or Captain Jack did...
