Since the Accident I Saw, the Road Itself Frightens Me

Why I stopped waiting for it to pass

For weeks I kept saying this fear would fade on its own. It did not. Even a short trip to the next upazila felt like a huge task. My supervisor asked for my visit reports, and I had no honest answer.

My first sitting with him

He did not rush me into short answers. He let me tell the whole story from the start, even parts I had left out with family. He asked how I sleep, what my days look like, and whether this had happened before. He also asked about my body and my earlier reports. Nothing was decided that day.

What he said about recovery

He was honest that change is slow. He spoke about meeting regularly to talk things through each week. He also started a medicine and explained what it is meant to do. My family would be part of this only in the way I feel comfortable with, he said.

Handling the medicine he gave

I take the medicine at the exact times and amounts he wrote for me. If it makes me uneasy, I note that down and tell him, instead of quietly dropping it. Stopping all at once on my own is something I will not do. Any change will come from him, after he hears how I have been.

A search for my younger brother

Meanwhile, my younger brother developed a swelling that his doctor said needs an operation. I helped him look through the general surgeon listings for Rangpur to find someone for that body problem. It reminded me that every problem needs its own kind of doctor.

Questions before my second visit

Will he only listen, or ask me questions too?

Both happened with me. He listened first, then asked about sleep, work, family and my health. His questions helped me notice patterns I had missed.

Do I have to tell my family everything I discuss there?

No. Family would be involved only as much as I agree to, he said. You decide what to share at home.

What if my body also needs checking?

He said a physical reason might sit behind my broken sleep. If so, another doctor should check that side first, he told me.

Can I talk about my travel fear openly, even if it sounds small?

Yes. I felt shy saying a simple road trip scares me now. He did not laugh or brush it aside. He treated it seriously.

How soon should I expect to feel like myself again?

He gave me no fixed date, and I am glad he did not. We would watch my sleep and travel over the coming visits and adjust things together.

What should I do on a day when dark thoughts feel too strong to push away?

If thoughts of harming yourself press so hard that resisting feels difficult, do not stay alone with that weight. Tell someone close in the house at once and get to a hospital that very day. The same goes after nights with no sleep at all and thoughts that keep racing. If fear rises so high you cannot manage eating or washing, that is a hospital day too.
