“Driving Anxiety” may be an oxymoron
I’m not calling it ridiculous, because driving anxiety is very common. It’s just that “Being in the driver’s seat” is an often-used metaphor for being in control. And anxiety needs you to feel out of control for it to stay in your life.
You know I always say, “Anxiety issues are control issues.” Then, how is anxiety getting you to believe you are out of control in a car, when you are literally in control of that car?
Well, anxiety tries to get you to focus on the hundreds of other drivers, road issues, pedestrians, manipulating you into believing that they are more important than you are in your safety. If you listen to anxiety, you will feel out of control and anxiety will stay your companion.

This is a very interesting article. About 2 years ago I had a panic attack while driving and that one attack caused me misery for about 3 months. I began to fear driving which to me was crazy as I had always loved diving. The experience truly annoyed me as I didn’t want to lose the freedom that driving gave me. Interestingly enough, it was this anger that eventually got rid of the panic attacks while driving. I guess that the strongest emotion won in the end!
Every driver experience this kind of situation where he/she feels anxious and alone. To avoid this one, you should not drive alone. Let someone be with you whenever you go. It’s important there is someone who you can talk to about anything while driving.
Very interesting and useful article.
I had no problem driving but after an accident I began to suffer of anxiety that can overcome thanks to meditation.
Much encouragement for those who are suffering from anxiety.
