I find that my driving fears are confined to certain situations like being at a place where there is no shoulder to pull over if I need to, or being in wide open spaces...It is so true when people say, that when you have a fear of travel, its not that your afraid so much that the plane/train/car will crash, but that you will panic and not be able to escape. I have not been home to see my family in 2 years because of this. My grandma is sick, and I really want to see her one last time. But Like I said, open spaces terrify me and I have to drive through the mohave desert to get from southern Nevada to Los angeles, with only 1 gas station and about 200 miles of desert between me and the next town. I also think about hospitals alot. like, what if I need to go to the hospital, and Im here in the middle of the desert having a heart attack....What will I do??? and the panic cycle begins. I have been known to through my vehicle into park without completely stepping on the brakes and running until I finally think.."where am I running to?" Maybe I should ask myself what I am running from I guess.
