How to get that confidence back?

[nick78hh]

Couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a panic attack because a car was trailing behind me on my bumper for like 6-7 miles. I ended up getting real nervous again the next week. I'm still driving but have noticed that I drive differently. Instead of being aggressive and confident, I drive very carefully and very protective, like I don't trust anyone.

I know you need to be an observant driver, but I use to be so confident now I just get nervous. Today was actually an improvement for me, but how can I keep making strides?

By not quitting driving despite ur panic attack. Avoidance only makes it worse so keep on keeping on

Don't associate your car with somewhere the panic sets in.. Go for a drive when your calm , stick a cd on and relax. I know what you mean, nothing wrong with being careful , it's that confidence of driving like you normally would.
