I am afraid to drive them on the highway can't take trips I just feel like something is going to happen i feel like they can't enjoy nothing really because Im always thinking the worst

[Lzrdlvr in reply to Hidden]

Are you afraid of them getting hurt or killed somehow?

[Hidden in reply to Lzrdlvr]

Very afraid I just wish I didn't have to be like this they don't understand that I can't help it they think I just want to keep them home but it's the only place I feel comfortable

Its rough when people don't understand, like logically i know it's fine, but i cant get myself to believe that, and people just dont believe it or understand it. Have you tried making like, small steps? Kind of meet in the middle? Take them somewhere close by, but still a fun weekend or something? Explain what you're trying to do and then get some ideas from them too.

Hi javianfoster. Have you seen a doctor or a mental health professional? There is help for this type of anxiety and I hope that you are able to reach out and take the first step. It could be a peer support group or a professional, or a combination of things, that would help. Small steps really do help as well. I have been taking small steps and doing things that scare me, but each time I do them, it gets a bit easier. I drive on the highway to get to my job and have been doing it for 7 years. Never had a problem, although I don't drive when the conditions are poor. At one time, I was terrified of driving on the highway. So, it can be done. Take a small step towards getting some help and support.
