Hi everyone. I started driving for about 3 months and I was totally fine. One night I was driving back home on a highway when suddenly I felt like my eyesight was being weird. No blurry vision it just felt weird like I could not concentrate and I got into a panic attack which has never happened to me before. I was shaking and my mouth felt so dry I couldn’t understand why this was happening so I pulled over for 10 minutes until I got to calm myself down and drive again. Now every single time I drive I can feel the “feeling” before the panic attack and then I just have a panic attack again. So i stopped driving but whenever I get on a highway and sit in the front seat I still feel very uneasy looking at the road and I still get that weird vision feeling where I feel like I cant concentrate and it just feels like pressure. I got my eyesight checked and my vision is ok. I’m not sure how to get over this and start driving normally like everyone else

I feel for you and I hope this can be worked through. (Maybe a mantra could help or relaxing music or your favorite music?)
Try to be gentle and patient with yourself and best of luck ✨
I totally understand you I still have anxiety when driving because one day I was driving and also saw like a zigzag light on the corner of my eye and lasted for about 10 minutes then it went away but I had a anxiety attack too and since then iam always scared it’s going to happen again while driving hate it
Have you thought about trying Dr.Bach's Rescue Remedy?
it got me through my driving test in 2004, I was 57 and hadn’t driven until late in life. I passed first time 😊 and I swear the remedy helped me.
