How do I calm myself down after almost getting hit by a car?
Okay so I was walking home and I have to cross this street and for some reason crossing that street always makes me super nervous I just hate crossing streets. Anyways I get there and I wait for all the cars stop weLL I THOUGHT all of them stopped and this car came out of nowhere so I just jumped back onto the sidewalk but this lady in her car stopped and told me to cross and thats what actually did. It was a **** ton of cars passing and I was really just running through traffic like the dumbass I am. I almost got hit so many times and people were honking and yelling at me. I really wanted to cry beacuse idk what the **** I was doing :c it really took everything in me not to cry all the way home. My legs were shaking really bad and I couldn't breathe I was just speed walking and hyperventilating the rest of the way to my complex.Everytime I think about it I tear up and I feel like I can't breathe.

Do something relaxing, and vow to never do anything that dangerous again.

It wasn’t ur fault. Traffic is mad at times. Try to tread over the zebra crossings in future. With increased exposure you’ll be just fine

Review the scene and change some of your actions: visualize the "helpful lady" waving you across into action, and wave a cheery "no thanks" to her.
Related: taking a nature walk in a safe place helps.
Also, "Understanding Yourself" by Mark Prophet is generally helpful.

Well, you can cower under a blanket, fret over your anxiety disorder and vow never to go outside again. OR you could grow a backbone and get over it! (Sheesh--- millennials. )
