How narrow are the tires on your bike now? And how much of a difference with the wider set that you have?

I'm actually not convinced that a switch in tires will help, although if you think that will make you more comfortable then go for it! It sounds like you do want to continue riding; you may just need to give yourself some more time. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that - it takes time to get over crashes like yours. I don't know how to tell you to do this, but please try not to let fear take over. Take the time you need, but plan to rejoin your bike rolling down the road.

I almost think that I was lucky in my own recovery because I actually don't remember the accident. I wanted to get back on my bike right away but I had to wait for some healing first; maybe that served as a built-in getting mentally prepared to get back on my bike.

I'm joining everyone else in sending healing (and soothing) thoughts your way.
