Full Blown Panic Attack While Driving – How Does One Stop A Panic Attack While Driving?
You're merrily driving on the road, having your window open, making an attempt to hear the radio, when suddenly : Boom, it is there! The scary panic attack! You are suddenly encircled in a flow of high-traffic on both sides, feeling very high or intoxicated with everything being imaginary or surreal. You're dizzy, confused and just barely realizing what is going on on. But you do know this : you have a full-blown panic attack.
I know, because I have been through it. Not everyone feels like you're right or drunk, there are a selection of symptoms that you can experience. Other symptoms that you might experience are :
Heart pounding Shaking uncertainty Dizzy Sick to your gut Feel just like you are dying or going mad
These are all terribly common manifestations. We do not experience every one of them at the same time. Some people only experience 2 these, other different ones every time. I do not believe there's an answer why is that.
However, it's good to know some of the triggers of anxiety panic attack while driving, so you can recognise them. They might help you, because once you recognize they are triggers, you are aware to what has happened to you. If you know what it is, you're no longer afraid of it, you are AWARE.
Driving an unknown vehicle Driving on an unknown road The pressure to overtake slow drivers Strong inbound traffic, especially in a rough weather ( rain, mist, etc ) Signs reminding you of death on the roads ( seeing flowers, crosses along the road, memorials ) Crossing a narrow bridge
If, while driving, you are feeling the first signs of a panic attack approaching, don't panic! ( I know, quicker said than done ). Slow down, and pull over your car, if you can. If you can't, due to the road circumstances, then make sure you drive slowly, don't worry about the other drivers honking on you. It's their problem, not yours. Open your window, take some clean air, inhale deeply . If you have water with you, drink a bit. Ensure that you mostly have a pleasant, relaxing CD with you, that you already know and love. Familiarity is extraordinarily significant to fall back to.
