I have panic and anxiety disorder and have gone for months, weeks years- and had no attacks or anxiety. Lately, when I drive far from home-30 miles or more, I get really anxious and panicky and the closer I get to home, even seeing the familiar roads, the better I feel. I am not homebound by any means. I used to love to drive and it was relaxing but no more. I just keep thinking about getting home. My mom was the same way and so is my brother. This may sound stupid but sometimes I think that if I drive somewhere far away, I won't be able to get home. I take Xanax and sometimes that works, I have tried the radio or a favorite CD- but it seems like I am concentrating on this so much I don't even hear it.
Also, freeway driving is out of the question right now.Anybody???
