Welcome Belinda,

I am sorry to hear about your car accident. I can certainly see how that would make driving a trigger for you. This program can certainly help. How far are you along so far? Any questions?

Welcome Belinda,

I have been struggling with driving on the freeways now that I am getting older. I live in a major city in California. The traffic is much heavier now than it was a few years ago. I have started driving around town a little more again this week which is a good thing but for now I think it's better if I stay stay off the freeways.

Hi and welcome Belinda,

I too have a fear of driving. This program and the people here have helped me get back behind the wheel of a car. I have been involved in several car accidents and driving was one of my biggest fears. I had a set back on the 25th of September but have been able to drive to the grocery store since then and am still making progress. Good luck and we are looking forward to hearing about your accomplishments.

Welcome Belinda,
 
I hope this site helps you as much as it helped me and the people here also.
I have anxiety when driving also, lately its been that.  My panic has pretty much resolved except for the driving part. But I still keep driving....I'm not going to stop.  We have to face the fears and show it whos boss.
 
I hope you do the program here as it does help. and if you need anything we are here to listen and share our experiences.
 
Good luck!

Hi, I'm new to this group. After being in a big four-car accident last year, I have had much more anxiety over driving. I guess I always have been anxious in many situations, but this year the panic attacks I experience out of the blue are much more pronounced. I found this website today after breaking down emotionally and refusing to make a necessary trip over the busy freeway to run an errand for my mother, which had been very important for me to do for her. Fortunately, my mother realized I was not trying to be unhelpful, but I was having panic anxiety. This anxiety over driving is causing me to avoid places I would normally like to go, like to workout at my gym. I am hoping I can find the support and tools I need in this center. Thank you. Belinda
