Hello,
I am a 24 year old woman.
I have had anxiety since highschool.
I was panic free for over two years until recently.
Hungover and driving a long distance I had a complete breakdown and couldn't even drive the rest of the way home, I had my boyfriend take my car.
Typical, after that one episode I am still suffering three weeks later.
I feel a general anxiety a lot of the time but I suffer major panic attacks while driving.
I have no idea what is causing this.
I really have everything I have ever wanted...moved out with my long term boyfriend, new good paying job and we recently got a cat.
Maybe a bit home sick and living/working in a new city is the reason?
I find myself not wanting to go and do things because I want to avoid driving.
Any tips on what I can do???
I don't have an attack every time but when I do - I really panic...
I have my mom on speed dial so I can talk to her because for some reason it helps. I really don't want to rely on my mom though....
My symptoms are dizzyness, racing heart, blurred vision, out of body feeling and my general anxiety is causing some IBS (not fun)
How can I back to how I was?!? I am a girl who went kayaking in the panama canal by myself surrounded by alligators?! but a 20 minute drive on a highway literally terrifies me
