@nancyychristine: I genuinely thought something was wrong with me when driving on highways suddenly started feeling overwhelming during menopause. Learning that hormonal changes can increase anxiety and that other women experience menopause driving anxiety too was such a relief. Sometimes just having an explanation helps you feel a little less alone. #menopause #drivinganxiety #hormonalimbalance #midlifewomen
I don’t mind driving I just hate that everyone else is out on a he road driving.

I thought it might actually cause my heart to explode one day on a 90 mile drive. We had to take country roads a few weeks later from Tulsa to Galveston bc my new happy meds hadn’t kicked in teen

Omg - thank you! I've been driving since Im 17 - I am 55 now. I used to drive out of state, over bridges. Now, I only drive like 10 miles away. I have such anxiety in the car.

Omg! I feel so validated right now! I avoid highways, heavy traffic, etc. Red lights are a nightmare because I feel trapped because I can’t move. But not all red lights weirdly.

It started out slow for me. First driving at night then making a left turn at a busy intersection. I feel I like I can no longer trust my own judgment as to how far the cars are. Now the idea of merging on to a highway freaks me out. And I have a teenager who’s starting to drive and I’m a wreck about that. Wish I could move to the country where there’s no highways
