Do you have a driving fear? I have one and I agree you just have to push yourself, exposure therapy.

Yes i have had it for years now and it has gotten worse the last few years thats why im so happy iam doing better it seems my anxiety triggers with stress. How do u handle it ,i start walking and it seems to help alot .....

I had a major breakdown last year and stopped driving the freeway. I make myself drive a little further and I also started walking too and it is a good stress release. I think my fear is a fear of being unsafe. If that makes sense

I have learned to stop praying to get better and to pray that it goes away.......

It is something that we face and makes us stronger and more compassionate to others.

Great to see a positive post on here. Fingers crossed for you. My week too has been a good one though I never take it for granted that it will last but it is good just to have a few days when I am not overwhelmed by "unwanted" thoughts. Gemma x
