This has been going on for years. I panic so bad that I refuse to get behind the wheel of a car.I fear being in control of something that could cause me to wreck & kill or someone to hit & kill me.It's the craziest thing & it's something that bothers me on a daily basis.I will sometimes have an anxiety attack while in the passenger seat & am constantly looking out for a accident waiting to happen.I feel bad being the back seat driver & telling everyone to slow down or to look out for the car turning onto the street.I am rarely relaxed during a car ride anywhere & always have a clenched fist or holding on to the door handle cause I can't relax.I hate taking long trips.The airplane is another thing I can't handle either.I think I may have something called agoraphobia.I wish I could be normal like everyone else. I feel stupid when people say to me "really,you don't drive?" This is a HUGE problem for me but my family has finally excepted this problem after years of being let down about it.My husband & son are very understanding thankfully.Anyone else going through the same thing?
