Hi Jennifer

I really know what that is like!! Terrible and scary for sure.. Try not to focus too much onwhat happened because you dont want to develop a fear of getting in the car and driving.. That has happened to me in the past and tis terrible. I couldnt even take the Xanax to drive being that .25's made me feel exhausted.. Try to put it behind you I know it is easier said then done.. Good Luck.. One more thing I noticed you had mentioned about your pastor and wife giving you a program.. I dont know what religion you are however, for about a year and a half now I have been watching this wonderful women on tv and now buy a lot of her books and DVDS.. Her name is Joyce Meyer and her show is called Enjoying Everyday Life, With Joyce Meryer.. She is so so wonderful and really focuses on everyday life kind of things. Shes also now on the Discovery Channel as well as many many other religious and non relgious channels. You can also watch her online at www.JoyceMeyer.org.. Take Care Kriss

Hi,


You know, as terrifying as the experience was, I'm not gonna let it steal my willingness to drive.

You know, I love Joyce Meyer but I never knew she had a show.

I just don't want you to stop driving because of a panic attack while driving.

Yes, I often wonder the very same thing! BUT, I know it will end or at least we will figure out what our triggers are and have some great coping techniques in plact to combat it!


It's normal to feel depressed after a panic attack, I always feel helpless and like I lost another battle.
