High Anxiety while driving!😣

[panicnomore99]

I dont understand why I have such bad anxiety while I am driving. I also have it while I am the passenger, but not as bad. It's like this horrible impending doom feeling. Like something really bad is going to happen. I used to be able to get in my car without a second thought and drive anywhere, at anytime I pleased. Now I cant even drive to the grocery store 5 minutes from my house! I have lost count of how many panick attacks I had while in a vehicle. I get this heaviness in my chest. I feel like I am not getting enough air, my heart is beating fast, I feel light headed, like I may pass out, my mouth gets super dry, I am so scared!! For what? I DONT KNOW. I just keep thinking of death. Why am I afraid of something that will happen to us all? This us why I pray that when my time is up, to please let it be while I am peacefully sleeping. No pain, no choas, no drama, no violence of any kind. Just calm and peace.

I understand what you're saying. I, too, suffer anxiety while driving. It's horrible! I once had to pull over on a bridge and then had trouble pulling back into traffic to continue on. I hate it and won't drive in large metropolitan areas. I live outside a city of 250,000 population and that is even too big sometimes!!!

I'm so sorry your going thru that.... I have all the same issues as you do. I've been home bound (that's what I call it,agoraphobia) for 2 1\2 years now...... Just the last 3 months I have improved, I actuality went grocery shopping by myself the first time in over 2 years....I was so bad I was on my wasy one day to my dentist appointment and I got as far as maybe 3 houses down from my house and panicked something awful and went back home....I hate being like this, trapped feeling and missing out on life....but I'm taking baby steps and I will make it....I was so proud of myself the day I went shopping by myself...... Im confident (NO I'M DETERMINED) I will have more days like that. GOD BLESS, you can do it.
