Anxiety, under confidence, overemotional

I experience anxiety that intensified after a road accident on Oct 4, 2024. Although I was not physically injured, the shock and brief loss of consciousness left a strong imprint. Since then, speed, highways, close traffic at night, and being a passenger trigger fear, racing heart, sweaty palms, and muscle tension, driven by a loss-of-safety feeling and fear of being hit from behind. Separately, I struggle with chronic overthinking, emotional overwhelm, brain fog, and forgetfulness that began around 2020 during severe workplace stress. Since then, my confidence has declined, I feel easily overwhelmed and tearful over small work interactions, and I often carry a persistent sense of worthlessness despite functioning well outwardly. I also have ongoing safety anxiety about my husband, needing reassurance when he travels or drives. These issues feel related through anxiety and trauma, but may have distinct roots needing careful therapy to rebuild safety, confidence, and self-trust.
