I highly recommend the follwing resources to help you over-come this fear of driving. In my opinion they are priceless and well worth the money. If you can afford them, I would order them today so you can get your recovery on the road. They have been instrumental in my recovery and I actually keep them in the car with me, just in case. 1) The Driving Fear Program - www.drivingfear.

You are not actually fearful of driving or travelling itself, but rather the fear of losing control if you have another panic attack. This is because when we have a panic attack, the first thing we want to do is to retreat to our "safe place", which for most people is our home. The further away from our comfort zone, the more uncomfortable we feel.

I too struggle with panic attacks and the fear of them returning. Have you talked to your dr about this? You might want to consider talking with a therapist. I do know that if you let the fear take over your mind it is only going to get worse. The best advice I can give you is to talk to someone and try to face the fear. Get back in your car and go for a drive even if it is only around the block. Each time you do it it will get easier. You have to take your control back.

I find myself reading site after site. Blog after blog for the last 5 or so weeks. I told myself I'm fine but now I'm not sure. It I'm regards to oral sex and saliva exposure I had twice with an escort. There was also brief kissing during one of the visits. I never had sex or anal sex with her.

i was driving confidently for the last 8 years. suddenly start to fear driving especially curves...now i could not take the vehicle in the middle of the road..i try to avoid and automatically i drive on left side of the road instead of straight...so i loose balance..i am sittiting also slightly towards left...this problem is giving me sleepless night...please advise me..........

I think this is the blog you are talking about. It is excellent. You can see there are many, many pages of valuable information. Plus it is written very well and has some humor too. http://hep-free.

My biggest fear out of everything is my water breaking while driving their car. I am absolutely terrified that this is going to happen. I have already gotten contractions while driving with one of the twins, thankfully the contractions weren't crazy bad, and this happened today. I dont know what to do besides calling their aunt, Chris, my mom and my doctor. Like what should I tell their aunt if that happens? To just meet me at the hospital or what?

Thankyou for sharing your story on your blog therefore spreading awareness of this insidious disease. It was well said. My dad was a golfer. I put his ashes in Spanish Bay off of Pebble Beach his favorite course in the world. A recent article a doctor stated 1 in 45 people have hep c and 2/3rds have no idea that they have it. Good luck!

I wake up at night in terrible pain in the eye and side of my nose. I’m trying not to touch my eyes now but nothing is helping and I can’t take much more .

Hi. Unfortunately this all evolves around your anxiety and you're developing Agoraphobia which will hold you prisoner in your home (safe place). Driving is a big trigger for many with panic attacks it goes along with Agoraphobia, fear of open places and fear you'll have a panic attack, the feeling of being "trapped" wherever you are.

driving, working on the computer, watching TV, etc. Dart my eyes back and forth and the thing just returns back to its original position, dangling there like a torn, black wispy letter "J.

t you get a dashboard camera (you could probably use your smartphone if it has enough memory). Record yourself driving. When you feel this fear, check the video and you will see that you have not hot anyone. At first, try driving for a short distance and then check the video. Then try driving a longer distance. You will be doing some self-exposure therapy and will have solid evidence that nothing bad has happened. Hang in there!

ve read, night-glare with the multi-focal IOLs (e.g., Restor) are a virtual certainty. As I do a decent amount of night-driving, I am afraid that such glare would bother me tremendously. I have also read that computer-distance would be in the weak spot of this IOL. e) The accomodating IOLs (Crystalens) in theory are hyped up to be just what I need at my age - the ability to clearly see at all ranges (once the eye muscles figure out how to actually focus the thing), with no glare.

Boy, can I relate!! MANY of us can! This goes hand in hand with panic. " I am known as the "back roads" queen because I can get to just about anywhere on small streets and county roads. I always feel like I need to have a place I can pull over". Me too! LOL. I HATE highways. I explored this fear with my therapist years ago, and she explained to me that the fear stems from our basic fear of becoming "trapped" somewhere, with no option of "escape".

need I say more? The fear of being stuck in traffic and suddenly needing to go is a real fear based on a real problem. Generally I prepare for trips, and if shopping, make it a focused shop. No more aimless driving. I have to have a plan and stick to it. Same in stores: meandering around in a hugh store is sure to bring on panic. So again I now plan and stick to it. One department for shoes. No checking out several stores or departments.

If you are dealing with anxiety, I think it would be very beneficial for you to talk things over with a therapist. Those of us with anxiety will often latch onto a fear and we are pros at blowing things out of proportion. You're gonna be OK, OK?

but every time I see one, my anxiety sky rockets. I have a fear of even driving by a used needle and thinking it could be contaminated with hepatitis b or c. its as though I fear blood from the needle will get on my car or tires and then on to me. really cant comprehend how to deal with this.

Of course there is always a what if, but we also take a risk by walking down the street, driving our cars, etc. Have you ever thought of talking to a therapist about this? Health anxiety is quite common in this forum and can really take a toll on us unless we get to the bottom of it. Keep us posted!

Then I find out we ate dinner the other night and I went to the store because she wanted something and she threw up dinner while I was gone. The only meal of the day and she doesnt even keep that in. Shes in these little web blog groups with all these girls who do this and fuel each other to "keep up the good work". She openly admits to binging then purging on several occasions in her blogs. Makes me sick where I dont even want to eat or show up for dinner.

It not just driving any more it's being alone, always need someone to be with me...Feeling sad for no reason..heart racing, pain in left arm and shoulders tension and the list goes on..just want to feel better!!

Fear is a common symptom of anxiety and depression. Almost always one of the predominate ones. Our nervous systems are 'out of wack' and we feel unstable as a result. Few people really appreciate their nervous system and it's complexities. You should discuss this symptom with your doctor and see what he can do.

Hi HamiltonM, I posted a comment about 6 years ago about fear of driving in curves. Especially curves ciming downhill. I feel my car will tilt over. I noted your comment about similar symptoms. I haven't been in this chat room since then...anyway I wanted to know if anything helped your situation?
