Holy crap, dude.

I'm glad you weren't more badly hurt.

Perhaps being proactive about the experience will help alleviate the shakes?

In 1998 I was hit head on by a drunk driver. Divine intervention I survived the crash, but the event shook me up something fierce.
By participating in MADD, it helped me get through the jitters on getting back on the road.

Maybe taking a class in self defense would help you?
Participate in community crime watch?

Just some ideas.

I'm considering a self defense class. But it won't be until winter that I can afford it--especially not with my thesis class this fall.
