Worst feeling in the world is when u get ur license and having a massive panic attack and all of a sudden I’m scared to drive. My mom had to pick me up because I couldn’t handle it. I was feeling numb and dizzy. It’s not the first time it’s the worst I cried in the car and I still am at home. I keep telling myself I’m gonna be ok and it’s all in my head but I heart pumps so fast I can’t focus.
I drive with anxiety like you said little steps at a time but my biggest problem is dizziness and that makes me more scare any advice please. And thank You in advance
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I have just recently started feeling panic-y in the car. I decided to look up some info and came across your channel. I will take your advice to heart and feel hopeful that your tips will help me.
I was already really confident driving,I drive for Uber/lyft but last Wednesday While I was driving all of the sudden I had a massive panic attack out of the blue,I ended up at the ER with the same diagnostic from the doctor saying it was all a panic attack,I feel now I went back to 0 again! Pretty sad 🤦🏻♂️
That Anxiety Guy I won’t give up,I have given many steps ahead and I will just take this as a little step back,just still feel a little shaken up from that moment but getting back on the process 💪🏼
I had a panic attack In LA traffic couple years a ago when I came back home I had one at a red light and one on the freeway overpass so haven’t driven on the freeway over a year and I struggle daily with driving in the city scared of red lights and also get dizzy just driving for no reason it’s like a bad dream
Like what that guy said: panic attacks started trigging where my comfort zones are now too. For me Driving was my comfort zone, it always made me feel better knowing I'm driving and in control. But now? I get extremely panicky and get anxiety driving 😑 I force myself to drive cause I have to be at places 😑 it's always the dizziness that triggers me, then shortness of breath and cramp feeling. Because of this? I get extremely impatient and always rush 😔 i find it funny because, I don't worry about having a car wreck or getting stopped or anything like that. It's more of worrying about HAVING a panic attack? Is that normal?? I also find it comforting driving alone because I can be myself. Having passengers make panic more because I'll end up fighting my mind to stay calm quitly.... does it ever go away?
I used to drive everywhere without any problem before I got married and have kids. My first panic attack started when my oldest kid was 18 months old. I have been struggling with it for 11 years. I can drive on the highway or country road OK (lower speed). My trigger is to drive high speed on the interstate without the shoulder area right next to me. Sometimes, I could feel fine this minute but in another minutes when I think about the driving, my mind gets scared & it triggers the attack. When I drive, I can't be rushed or on an empty stomach. It's less stressful if no kid is on board. Today, I even get dizziness. Maybe that's why I have to drive right next to the shoulder area in case if I have to stop immediately. If I have time, I like to take the local road. Driving in the morning is harder than driving in the afternoon/evening. Also, it seems better after I talk to people or am exposed to the sun. It frustrates me a great deal because I have 3 kids and I have to drive them everywhere. I constantly have to discover new ways to conquer the urge of the attack. In the past, I tried focusing on the license plate in front of me & just followed along. It worked for a while. Then, I tried drinking hot tea to relax myself. Now, my friend gave me some oil to smell. I just wish this panic attack feeling goes away so I can have my freedom back!
I drove for the first time on the main road to the store near by, but before leaving the parking lot I was having a panic attack and could not move for 30mins. I was feeling ill and like I was going to pass out but I wanted to accomplish that small step and get there. Eventually I decided to just do it, afraid and got to the store and back home. My legs were so shaky and I felt a bit dissociative/ dizzy and I wondered, why am I like this?. I can see others drive w ease but I feel impending doom and my heart and temple beats fast. But reading these comments I don't feel alone.

Its only back to zero if you go back to zero by choice. You are in control of this process.

I don’t like being a passenger as well. I would rather sit in the back seat. It is weird. I thought it was just me.

You did it! Good job. I know that was a scary thing to do. And many many people struggle with this fear so you're definitely not alone in this.
Amazing how we do things when we can’t avoid
