View Full Version : Help!! Serious anxiety situation
OMG I am having a serious anxiety problem...I have to do a 24 mile round trip in the car tonight :ohmy: I have a family member coming along but I am driving. It involves a long un-lit country road and i am in such a panic at the very thought....sick to my stomach, nervous, dizzy palpitations, agitated etc. Any advice to help me through this one, please :wacko: I can take 2mg diaz before I go but no more cos I need to be 'with it' when driving.
Thanks guys :winks:

Hi take your diazepam half hour b4 you leave, have u got a calming cd u could maybe play in the car? Keep talking to whoever is with you? You CAN do this and afterwards be proud that youve done it! Good luck :hugs: x x

How long will it take?
Focus on small goals, like to the end of this road , two turns etc . .
Put some music on too :)

Give the headlights and windscreen a good clean before your trip. You'll be safer and more confident:)
Good luck..

Be a bit careful with this one, as my relaxation MP3s tend to actually send me to sleep, which is not ideal whilst driving.
Thanks sooo much everyone...will take all your advice
LMAO about falling asleep to the relaxation CD's :D
Some really good tips. I know I can do it & I will but just feel so awful at the mo, getting worse as the time gets nearer.....:wacko:
As others have said, I listen to classical music in the car to help to keep me calm. :)
Wow!! I done it...thanks to you all, great advice and feeling really proud of myself today :D
