@anxiety_trainer: Driving anxiety used to feel impossible. Racing heart Dizziness That urge to escape What helped wasn’t calming down It was stopping the fight Letting the sensations be there And driving anyway You’re not broken Anxiety can unlearn itself Stay the course #anxiety #anxietyawareness #drivinganxiety #anxietyrelief #panicattack
That is me, I was diagnosed with Agoraphobia, but honestly it’s the highway that makes it worse for me. I have not driven in almost three years.

it's actually post traumatic stress. we don't like being in situations we can't control. it's never about the driving.

driving in new places freaks me out, not knowing the road pattern, I need to know what Lane to be in at all times. because you can be driving in the right lane and then all of a sudden that lane turns into a turn only lane, and that gives me anxiety because I might not be able to get over at the last minute. or what if that lane is a lane to get on the interstate (which I dont do unless I absolutely have to) or coming up to a left turn, crossing traffic without a light freaks me out. I'm not one of those that can just drive without knowing the road first. I'll study the map so hard before I have to leave. i don't want to have to switch lanes at the lady minute I can't stand when people do that.

The older I get, the more anxious I am. Even more anxiety as a passenger 🫣

It helps to know I’m not the only person that feels this way. I have to crank the AC because my palm sweat so much.

The stuck in traffic freaks me out. The walls the guardrails. The feeling of being trapped.

I do fine driving but have major parking anxiety. I have to be familiar with the parking situation ahead of time or I won't go.

I have some driving anxiety. I literally feel myself losing control of the car, when I’m really not. It’s wild.
