I'm just curious how many drive with CM? Or how many retain driving privledges even though perhaps they don't use them often due to not feeling safe to drive.
Personally, even though I feel much better than pre-op there are many times I refuse to drive... probably 80-85% of the time. Curiosity due to finding this URL

Hiya well, personally i would say if you have such a fear at the moment of HIV/STD's etc.. then you really need to sit and think about what actions while performing love making really trigger the anxiety.
As well I had experienced anxiety with driving over a period of time. I brought this to the attention of my therapist seeking an explanation for the anxiety. We talked about the anxiety and he suggested some relaxation via a very simple tape which he had created. He described to the patient how to relax, that is, relaxing one body part at a time.(shoulder, arm, leg). I listened to this tape over time (as required) and much of the anxiety has left me.
t a fact and was able to deal with it. I also hyperventilated so read that if you have ice water with you, drinking it of course, you can't hyperventilated.

They could help you tremendously.
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.
New pathways need to be created to overcome the old programming. So for example, if you panic over a fear of flying, you must start flying and let the brain realise that its all okay, and reprogram the thoughts.
However, the fear of dying can't really be practiced. Some buddhists meditate in a morgue as it is the closest we can get to dying. Once we understand that dying is just for the body and the spirit moves back to the energy (the light) we are no longer afraid of dying.

Don´t worry I understand you 100%.
Hello it has started a few months ago, I had often little pimples around my lips that I took for cold sores and I was afraid to spread it to another parts of my body with bodily fluids like saliva, bogey or tears, so I washed my hands all the time, I was paranoid about it but I could still get out. I was just little afraid of touching objects from outside. Finally I have take a blood test and it was negative.

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.
I'm trying to find out if anyone has had a similar situation to mine and how they've dealt with it. For the past month I've had anxiety about driving on the interstate, especially when I think I might get stuck in traffic. It started when I had some stomach bug which caused me to get extremely nauseous when I was driving and I had to pull over ASAP and find a place to vomit or use the bathroom.
