Hi everyone
I’m new to anxiety and am feeling it in a specific way. I’m finding myself scared of driving and have done so for the past few days. Has anyone else felt the same?
Thanks

Hi Debmc471
That sounds really rough, being immobilized as you say you are and having to deal with those symptoms. I hope you find more insight from people with similar experiences that you can implement in your daily life.
For me, acknowledging and recording when, how and why I feel anxious gives me ownership over the feeling. This recording tells me why I'm feeling that way, and put it into a wider context, as just one (important, challenging but not overwhelming or all-consuming) part of my life. You can journal or use smartphone apps to do it as often as you like- it can take practise. Does this sound useful?
Let us know how you are going anyway, we're here to listen and this thread has got some great responses so far.
