3 Tips Proven to Stop Scary Panic Attacks Whilst Driving – Put the Brakes on Anxiety Therapy.
As anyone will anxiety disorders will tell you, we can only too well recognise the onset of a panic attack.
You are in the car, behind the wheel, and the symptoms start. Usually it’s the palpitations first, with the heart going like the proverbial piston. Then the palms get sweaty, in fact within minutes you feel sweaty all over. And so it has started.
The first thought is about getting off the road and parking up somewhere in case things get real bad. But on a busy road, with traffic all around, even slowing down can be a dangerous thing to do.
My tips are not the usual ones of breathing deeply, winding the window down, thinking good thoughts etc. None of them are included in my three tips.
These are eminently practical tips and have been proven to work for others besides the author of this article.
Tip 1. Get a hands-free cellphone installed in your car. When fitted, and things are really tough with an attack you are having, then call someone. Call your wife, husband, friend, whoever, and have a NORMAL conversation. The first time I did this it worked great for me. I also know of someone who stopped having the attacks simply because she got the phone installed. She said it removed the fear of her being stranded on her own, which is a real terror often felt by anxiety disorder sufferers.
Tip2. Wherever it is you live, become a member of a National Car Breakdown service. You may already have this included under your car warranty, just make sure it never runs out and keep reminding yourself you have the security it brings. It is not difficult to understand what this one thing can do for female sufferers. It’s banishing that fear again of being stranded on your own.
Tip 3. Panic attacks whilst driving are generally brought about by root causes which are easy to dig out as typified by the previous two examples in Tips 1 and 2. Then work on geting rid of those root causes, and that is where my site may help you.
I am really PASSIONATE about helping others dispel their anxiety issues. My site will explain to you how they can be unearted and then gotten rid of, and that’s permanently got rid of.
