The fear of driving is one of my worst these days I had panic attacks long before I learned how to drive, but I managed to easily take license, own a car and drive so many miles without any signs of anxiety and fear. I felt it like freedom. Sometimes driving fast feeling like I was invincible. But after two anxiety attacks I had while driving on highway during long distance trips now led me to be afraid of standing behind the wheel. Feelings like lack of breathing, like I am about to pass out, sore throat, jaw dropping, dizziness and short vision. It cripples me because I know I am really good driver and right now I can’t enjoy the feeling of freedom I had
The same example u talked about related to the car I had it while doing a movement basically I had to stand up once after I bend down and whenever I will do it I had to experience the same feeling cuz my mind thought that that movement is a threat just like exercising from some but in my mind I was like oh that might be smtg else ofc I went to the dr before my heart is totally fine
