Question #4 - Anonymous wrote, Does anyone have suggestions / help on how to handle panic attacks while driving? I dont use chemical medication anymore as the side effects werent worth it. My thoughts while driving seem to be about anxieties in my life......... Its gotten to the point where I take all the back roads to stay off the main roads in Johannesburg, SA, and the thought of going on the highway is terrifying. The cars go whizzing past me or feel like they driving on my tail. When I have to stop at a traffic light or stop street and there are people standing there, I go onto high alert (body goes stiff etc). I go ice cold, break out into a sweat, get dizzy, need to put the air-con on full in my face (even in winter) and repeat to myself that I will not pass out. Occasionally I just pull over and let it pass then continue. Naturally when I get home safely, Im drained and exhausted. Thanks very much.
