I try to use logic with my thoughts. Not sure what else would work.

That is a pretty scary thought. It sounds like challenging those thoughts might be helpful in controlling your anxiety. You can use the 10 questions in the challenging negativity section to help. I know you are a very smart individual so I want you to think about it too...How else do you think you can work on these thoughts? What do you think might work for you?

Yeah I calmed down from it because I reread it and it said she was driving backwards. No panic attack would make you drive backwards. She was in a parking lot (car park) and decided to drive backwards probably because she is a moron, so panic attack or not, she killed the guy because she was driving improperly. I feel bad for the man being dead and for her living with that guilt for life.
I will tell you my biggest fear is getting a panic attack when I am driving because I get very dizzy and I don't want to severely injure or God forbid kill myself or someone else. I have this fear I'll get an attack, become very dizzy, accidentally kill someone because I didn't pull over as quickly as I wanted, and the judge will go yeah yeah whatever and I'll end up in prison for life or the majority of my life..... That and the fact I become petrified. I wish brains were like cars, cos I'm ready to trade in for a new one (brain).

Hi MeganIsBack,

I wonder how likely it is for something like this to happen? I would say it is very unlikely. Wouldn't you?

TRIGGER.


Ashley, I was reading a news article about a woman with panic disorder who ran over a man and killed him but didn't know what's going on cos she was having a panic attack. Now, I definitely don't want to drive.
