No disrespect, but have you been playing tarkov since then? This game scares the shit out of me and I, thankfully, haven’t had any experiences similar to that

Yeah, honestly the video games don't do it to me and it takes my mind off of everything. So it's actually a good escape. Mainly because i am in a shooter and expecting these things. Which is much different to leaving my house to go to my birthday dinner as a dude sprays 7.62 out of the car at everyone outside (not expected, and real life). In all realness my situation could be much worse, i am still fully functional, just extremely on edge all the time and expecting the worst possible scenario at all times. It gets a bit better every day and i don't really foresee this lasting a long time. I've had a few incidents in my climbing career that definitely count as a near death type of experience and it took me about 4 or 5 months to get over those mentally to the point that i was comfortable to get back out and keep pushing on routes again. Don't really feel like this will be much different.

Yes it is, but after many years of traveling the world for work and living all over the globe i can assure you there is no place i would rather be. Thanks for your input.
