I am afraid to drive on parts of the highway where I feel there isn't an exit to hurry and get off on. I do not like to cross over any bridges and I have this fear of crashing or wrecking. I once lost my train of thought while I was on the expressway I completely forgot where I was and what I was doing and started shaking and my heart started beating really fast. I felt like I was loosing my breath and my mind. I get in these panic modes driving at night and I don't understand this because I use to love to drive. I get freaked out if I have to drive long distances. I usually take the back roads every where I want to go and this is a hindrance to me because I remember a time in my life where I was confident about driving. I haven't been a bad accident to make me this way. I also found out that "ASTHMA" comes from fear and anxiety which is what I was diagnosed with a few years ago. I really want to overcome my fears and not be afraid of what I actually use to love to do. But I can always tell when I'm about to have these attacks as my hands start shaking and then I start feeling outside of myself. What is wrong with me? I am not taking any medications and I really don't want to because I was told that it makes it worse. Please Help!
