Well if my daily anxiety wasn't enough I've recently developed a new phobia. I use to love going for long car rides, it had a calming affect on me. Now I'm scared to drive down the street. It all started when I had a bad panic attack driving one day about a month ago, and now every time I have to go out I get terrified. I'm turning into a hermit because I"m avoiding driving so much. Also I just left my job about two months ago so now I'm scared to look for another one because of my anxiety. I get the shakes really bad when I'm anxious and it's embarrassing to the point I'm just in avoidance right now of anything that can trigger it. Anyone else have problems with driving?
