I can't concentrate today. A close friend was in a bike vs car (cars fault) yesterday. They are still in hospital but ok -multiple fractures and chest trauma but could have been much worse. I spent yesterday babysitting and helping out and I thought I was ok but I keep getting the shakes today. I feel silly. I need to concentrate but I keep thinking about it.

Hug your peeps my peeps.

Bro. Dont feel silly at all. PERFECTLY normal to have this reaction to trauma. Take a day off, be kind to yourself. Go for a walk, get a cuppa and process.

Thanks. I know that intellectually. I know that it's also smashed me right back to childhood where there were a couple of big bad life changing moments like this. I don't know why I expect I would ever be over that but I do. Thanks. I am gonna make a cuppa.
