I do not know how to get over this. After finally finding a job and being able to get an electric bike to help me get to work (1 hour walk, no other transportation available) my tire popped after a week or two and it has created such a weird anxiety that I cannot explain. I was so ecstatic to have the ability to go to work with ease and as soon as things went wrong with my bike it sent me into a spiral. Every little bump and sound freaks me out to the point where i dread riding to work.
I honestly believe it hit me with a wave of "if this breaks how will you get to work" but 100 times that. Just a sudden realization of the fact that I'm reliant on this bike. As much as I can take preventative measures the fear in my brain is taking over the logical side of it.
Has anyone had to deal with this before? If so, I would truly appreciate the advice.
