Panic attack when I was driving! Help!
I recently got into a fender bender and although I wasn't driving, I have been really apprehensive about getting back on the wheel. I already have been very anxious lately with school starting and with an impending graduation in 3 months. I have been suffering severe anxiety and insomnia and haven't been in the best shape. I started driving yesterday and had a mid-drive panic attack that I had to stop the vehicle in the shoulder. I felt so uncomfortable and my heart was racing. Thankfully I had someone else in passenger seat who could drive me back safely. I recently read up on magnesium supplements and they have been helping me with my sleep. They work like a charm! Insomnia aside, these panic attacks and underlying anxiety are debilitating. Is there anyone who has had this before and what are they doing to alleviate panic attacks while driving? Would appreciate any leads!!!
