Idk. I just can't think of anyother way to get the fear to stop. I've tried twice before and it just won't go away. I have anxiety and stress disorder and this is really making me sick.
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.
Dear Joggen,
I really appreciate the things you do for people like us who have irrational/maybe rational fears. As for me I think I can safely be diagnosed as having OCD now. I'm freaking out about an incident that everyone in HIV prevention community (including you) said no risk. I decided to go and get tested just to make sure. The window period will be up in couple of weeks.
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..........
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.
Driving test tomorrow nervous as hell. I really want to pass before baby come's. Come October i will be a mother of 2 children and i really want to be able to drive them around. If i don't pass i won't be able to do it again till November as thats how long the wait is at the test centre.
I know I'm putting alot of pressure on myself but i just can't help it.

Anxiety can manifest itself in certain ways, in my opinion. Yours is your fear of cancer. My original source of anxiety started with my heart, but if I thought I had something, then I had it. You name it, I must have been suffering from it...it is a hard pattern of thinking to get out of sometimes.
Throughout all of this, have you had access to a therapist to talk this over? In my opinion, the best thing you can do to get over this is accept it and confront it.
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!
It sounds to me as if you have allowed the fear of the idea of HIV to completely take over and although you are not only being presented with accurately negative tests and some fantastic and factual advice you still continue to fret.
It seems to me that your issue has now become more psychological then physical as you most definitley do not have hiv.
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 know it is due to the fear of driving and thinking I will pass out. I went to the doctor and he gave me medication for the axiety, but I still have the light headness while driving. I don't have this problem outside the car. However, I do get headaches on the left side of head. I am concerned since it is progessively getting worse. Unfortunately for me, I was recently laid off of my job and no longer have health insurance. Any suggestions.
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!
You test and you'll put it behind you. There is nothing more that this forum or any forum can offer. It's up to you.
An angiograph of vessels can be done with a cathode or CT scan. There shouldn't be any fear to have a cath angioplasty. There is medication that will reduce any and all anxiety...the patient experiences nothing of any concern and almost always recovers within a day or so with no side effects. With cath, the cardiologist can do a stent implant during the procedure. With a CT scan, there is a possibility of stent implant cath procedure subsequently.
