I have a fear of driving with others in the car because people telling me how to drive is so anxiety triggering. I will not drive at night unless I am driving home. I am really scared of driving somewhere unfamiliar. I am a mess.

So I started getting motorway anxiety 2 months ago after over 20 years of no issue with driving. I think my anxiety decided that it needed an outlet and chose motorways. It was so debilitating as I needed to get on the motorway to get to work. I listened to the video today and realised that I just needed to face my fear and expose myself to it. I just got on the motorway and did a whole junction and then came back the other way. When I first got on the motorway I felt like my heart was coming out of my throat but I just started singing to my music and it subsided. Thank you for this video, it really helped me get back on the road today

i saw a video on YT mentioning singing can help. thanks for your story. this comment section is like group therapy.

After a decade of experiencing anxiety while driving and watching countless videos I can honestly say this was the best advice that I could relate to instantly. The emotions Steve shared were familiar I felt like he was talking about me. Armed with these techniques I have hope that I too can overcome my fear of driving by preparing well. Thank you for sharing.

I had a panic attack due to passenger of mine yelling at me as I was driving on the freeway. My whole body was shaking and I had to pull off and let them finish the drive. I actually drove home (on the freeway), but weeks out the anxiety while driving started to creep up randomly while driving. First the freeway, then on the streets. It would wax and wane, but I never stopped driving. I did stop driving on the freeway and was resigned to this new life and said I’d just drive on the street only if I needed to. Well a little over ten years out, the intensity of the anxiety started to get worse, just driving the street. I had my eyes checked, no problems. Doctors don’t suspect anything neurologically wrong. I know it’s behavioral and I just want my freedom back.

This is great info. Never had an accident but developed anxiety and even panic attacks on highway, bridges, driving fast (makes me feel like passing out), and anxiety goes sky high if a big truck is behind me driving fast 😳.

i wish i found this helpful discussion when it was uploaded. my VA therapists haven't a clue as to what driving anxiety is and haven't offered any tips on how to combat it. in fact, i was interrupted when telling the story of how i went on the hwy 30miles round trip after avoiding it for 2 yrs, only to be interrupted, have the subject changed, and notes taken about me and my "tangential" account of driving to a doctor's appointment. KZread is more therapeutic than any VA counselor I have had so far. Too bad I don't live in LA, but thanks to KZread I can indirectly get therapy from this podcast. Keep it up. You are helping this Veteran with lots of amazingly helpful tips. Also, i can completely relate to the person in the darkened room.

My situation is similar to yourselves. I failed my test 4 times in my 20's and never went bk to it! I'm now 34 and have recently pushed myself back into lessons which was a massive step for me! I'm still terrified and dread each lesson but make myself do it all the same.

Still not working for me. I am on high alert all the time. I am not afraid of driving if no one else is on the road. It's all the other people that make me a wreck. Texting and driving, speeding, drunks. I watch people go through stop signs, red lights, speed. I can't take it. Of course I don't want to be on a highway more of a chance of a disabling accident or death. Fast speeds kill. Had 2 accidents hit from behind and that ways long before cell phone texting. 1985 and 1999. Always look in mirror and pull up some as many times people are speeding right at me from behind instead of slowing up long before hand. I hate it all. Another major fear is hitting a deer. Can't imagine what pain that would cause on a highway. Multiple pile up? Yeah I am totally in fear of all the what if's. :(

I am 41. When I was in my 20s. I never had any anxiety. When I was 31, I unknowing ate a cupcake laced with THC butter, which sent my heartrate to 180 and sent me to the ER. Since then I would have random episodes of fast heart rate, while driving, which would cause a panic attack. Since then, I have struggle with all types of symptoms that were mentioned in this video. Anytime I feel uneasy, it is amplified while driving. I do, however, tend to feel better when someone else, who can drive, is riding with me.

ty, this has helped a lot. I used to love driving. I even drove from NY to CA and back once. Then all of sudden I had panic attack behind the wheel and haven't driven in over three years.

This is very helpful. I’ve had highway anxiety for a year and I would agree that regular practice/exposure is good. I am a single mom and one of my sons doesn’t have his license yet. I have to pick him up from school daily and sometimes drive him to his dads house 10 min away. I work at home. If I wasn’t forced to drive him around I would have just stayed at home as much as possible. I have made slow progress. A year ago I could only drive 45 mph. I am up to 65 mph now so I am at the point where I have been able to go on the highway 3 times. I only went one exit (1/2 mile) each time. The speed limit here is 70 so 65 in the right lane is doable. Each time has gotten a little easier. Once I feel more in control driving that one exit I’ll go 2, etc. while listening to this lecture I created a “panic pack” to keep in my car. I wrote down the mantra and breathing technique and included it in the pack. I also have homeopathic remedies, essential oils, flower essences. Even if those things aren’t strong enough to pull me out of full on panic, I think having a “tool kit” is sort of representative and makes me feel like I have a crutch with me. Also grabbing those things and using them in a panic may ground me. I find that I get ungrounded, like I’m going to pass out, like my soul is going to leave my body. Having a “panic pack” may give me something grounding to do. Idk we will see. My son literally sells something called the “worry monster” as part of his business. I may grab one of those and put it in there. They are made for kids but hey anything to make me feel “not alone” I guess lol

I also think one thing to keep in mind is geographical disorientation. For a lot of us who dread driving, it also has to do with not knowing where we are, even if we use GPS. I call it driving dyslexia. If I have to drive a new route, it will take me about ten times driving the new route before it begins to make sense to me. So even though I do drive, it's not much fun, as you can imagine!

This is amazing, crazy how when you’re going through something and magicially something like this video shows up! I have a fear of driving to a place I’ve never been to. I feel shamed upon because of it. It’s an actual fear, haven’t been able to overcome because I’m terrified to the point of panic attacks. Very scary bc I have lives in the car.

Actually, it's going really well and the fact that I can do it on my own makes it even better and gives me much more confidence than when I was being told what to do by him.

Thank you so much guys!

I've been out in LA for four years now and I started driving again this year, but sporadically. This video gave me some helpful tips.

Guys- I cant thank you enough. I have had driving anxiety ever since I had an operation last year and couldn't drive for a while. I'm guessing that by avoiding driving it made the anxiety worse. Anyway.....after watching your video I got in my car today and told myself "I can (I can), relaaaaax" over and over again while doing the 3x3 breathing. I was still anxious but I managed to drive to two different shops ...all by MYSELF! The breathing tool and knowing that anxiety cannot hurt me and knowing how to look my anxiety in the eye and not be afraid of it is a total game changer.

I've actually teared up while watching this because Steve's experience with driving anxiety sounds so very much like my own. Hearing him speak with confidence about how he addressed his fears head on made me feel like I actually have a chance at kicking my own driving fear's butt. Fearful driving has been one of the hardest challenges I've had to face, especially after having been a decent-ish enough driver for decades without any trouble until the past few years. Feeling my world close in around me more and more as this seemingly irrational fear consumed me has been incredibly frustrating and esteem eroding. I've wanted my confidence back as well as my sense of independence for such a long time without having much success in other approaches.

Every 5 seconds I keep checking my mirrors I’m afraid people are going to get mad. I live in nyc and traffic is terrible.

My panic attack followed poor health after diagnosed with Coeliac disease, low Iron and other vitamins. The lightheadedness reminded me of when I fainted. Not a good thought when in charge of a car at the traffic lights!

I'm comfortable driving on regular roads, but the motorway seems daunting. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
