Driving through tunnels

One day ten years ago I decided that I could not drive through a three mile tunnel close to my home.This has caused me great inconvenience. I have had hypnotherapy without success. I can't drive on motorways or certain bridges.anyone else had this problem and how did you get over it. Many thanks for any help.

Thanks Alan.Thanks very much for response.I don't know why.I drove through every day for years without giving it a thought. I am semi retired now but it can take hours getting to places that used to take thirty minutes. X

Hi Alan,that is so kind of you.thank you very much it is so good to know that you are willing to help me and be my friend. It means a lot.

How did you feel when driving your lorry if the person in front was say doing 38 in a 40 mile area. I always feel uneasy when I have a lorry or bus behind me.

thanks xx
