Hi ya!
I suffer from panic attacks and my partner has been told he can't drive for a year as he has mild epilepsy. He was the person who has finally got me going places locally mind, but now he was told yesterday he can't drive I am going to have to start else we won't be able to go anywhere!!! I can see this being a big blow to my progress as he took me to my CBT appointments and I get panicky still when going due to the traffic!! I don't think I'm going to be able to go now I will have to drive!!!! I have been out in the car with my partner and have driven places, but I felt better knowing that if I felt panicky he could take over the driving and he has done a few times when it got too much for me. This now will not be able to happen and it totally freaks me out!! Has anyone got any advice on how they overcome their panic and anxiety while driving??? Any advice would be so much appreicated.
Thanks
