Panic Attacks Driving
Do you have panic attacks driving? Sweaty palms clutching the steering wheel, heart racing, chest pain, things coming in and out of focus as you desperately try to get to the side of the road, and your mind racing are all symptoms of having panic attacks driving.
Driving panic attacks aren't really much different than a normal panic or anxiety attack. This may not be of much comfort, as many know that these are extremely painful and troubling, but it does help you to understand what is going on better and what is causing it.
Most panic attacks stem from a single fear or thought running through your head over and over, revving up to the point where it dominates your focus. As this painful thought or scenario becomes more and more real to you, your body will respond as if it has already happened.
One way to approach stopping it is by breaking the thought loop. If you go over the same thought again and again it will become stronger and harder to stop the cycle, so know the pattern and catch it early. In Neuro-Linguistic Programming(NLP) this is known as a pattern interrupt.
For good pattern interrupts, find a list of thing that always seem to make you smile or laugh to think about, scream the lyrics to some children's song, or make a weird noise. Anything that is off the wall will do wonders to take your mind out of that state. Do this enough and you will eventually break the pattern altogether.
But why do panic attacks driving occur? Like most anxiety attacks this usually stems from one time where you were extremely anxious and it eventually escalated. That memory becomes so engrained in your psyche a part of you focuses on it, you become afraid of the attack itself, which heightens your anxiety. In most cases it isn't driving itself that is fearful (at least not to this extent), but your irrational fears about driving, which you developed after your first attack.
In extreme cases, it can be all but impossible to stop anxiety attacks using traditional methods, but there is hope. It lies in a tightly guarded secret known as the "One Move Technique," that will stop you from fearing panic attacks immediately, lowering your general anxiety and with it, your chances for having a panic attack.
