Driving

@powerfulEast299

I agree i am not a big fan of driving and do only what i need to ....

it is hard to explain to others why i do not like driving especially in heavy traffic etc.

@powerfulEast299 I use to have such severe anxiety in cars. I would have to pull over every 15-20 mins and try to calm myself. I've dealt with this anxiety for almost 10 years now. It's manageable now but when I'm stressed/generally anxious it comes back. I have to drive everyday for work so unfortunately i have to face this daily....however the exposure helps me with acceptance of the situation.

I'm sorry you have to go through this but it'll be okay i promise

You’re not alone. Wish I could help with some advice…

@powerfulEast299 Have you read Dr. Dave Carbonell's tips on the fear of driving? I found it very helpful.  I had to use the step by step to get back into the car etc.  You can find him online under AnxietyCoach.com. He offers a completely free download of a chapter from his book on the fear of driving. Very simple read.  It took me awhile and my anxiety with driving still flares at times but I am so much better and driving a lot!  The best to you.
