Hi Everyone, I have only been experiencing these for 6 months, so there is much that I don't understand BUT, I keep reading that the attacks are not dangerous... I ONLY have mine while I am driving my car across a bridge (no where to pull over to calm down). What can I do???
Anne-Marie- Thanks so much for responding to my question! My biggest fear when crossing the bridges is that I am going to drive right over the side of it (that I will lose control of the car) and not be able to do anything to prevent this from happening. I have to keep my eyes straight in front of me (not looking at the sides of the bridge). I will try the breathing exercises at the next bridge I come to. Thanks again, Sammie
Diane - I also have a fear of driving while crossing a bridge and it has also started suddenly for me. I have been experiencing panic attacks for about a year now... I had been driving for 23 years and never had a problem... For me it's not even ALL bridges, the attacks are much worse if the bridge is long and goes upwards..(can someone explain that???) Anyhow, what I wanted to say is that you are not the only one and what has helped me somewhat is to cross little short bridges (I feel like I am conquering it), keep the radio turned LOUD and the windows down. I wish you much success!!!!!!!!! Sammie :)
