Still feeling wrecked. Am kind of wondering whether it’s related to (an unpleasant road related incident)

spoiler

an accident yesterday. I was riding home and had to u-turn as there had been accident involving a motorcyclist just several minutes before. I didn’t see anything, but I saw the bobbing of a head and I knew they were desperately doing CPR. A witness said they’d been trying for 5 mins and didn’t know when the ambulance would arrive. They were on the way when I was riding back in the opposite direction. The news reported that he died at the scene. I’m trying not to think about it, but it’s hard since I ride there almost weekly. I mean, I know that it can happen anywhere, but most people on the weekends are sort of chill. It is a winding 60km that increases to 80km, but most people on the weekends take it pretty easy. Hell, I rode Black Spur yesterday and one of the drivers was literally driving half the speed limit. sigh Just that constant reminder of life…

Sorry, just needed to offload it.

It’s hard to witness, your feelings are valid. Make sure you take care of yourself, self-care. Sending you good vibes

  Thanks, StudSpud. I guess I didn’t really realise how it might have affected me. I had a pretty bad sleep last night and didn’t put two and two together.

Mate, being so close to the scene like that would absolutely have residual effects on your nervous system. Definitely take it easy, it can be a lot to process

  Thanks, JK. It looks like that in formatting and works on desktop, but I only noticed it wasn’t working on Memmy. I tried to fix it, but to no avail.
  
  Appreciate your words, thanks.

    Odd, it looked fine to me on mobile browser but not on desktop. Ah well. I think everyone here empathises with your situation. Hope your sleep improves over the week.
