This is very serious to me and is beginng to affect my everyday life. Short explanation: I left and extremely physically abuse situation about 3 yrs ago, shortly after that I have a MAJOR car accident. It totalled my car and even the concrete from the mail box went thru my windsheild. Luckily all a got was a bruised elbow. However this accident scared me so badly. I have panic attacks in the weirdest situations (not sure if they are coming from the abusive relationship in the past also). Last fall, I went to the ER with a heart rate of 154 beats/minute. Mostly I have problems with panic attacks when I drive, I think it is due to the massive wreck I was in! It was very bad. Here's my questions, short of living on Klonopin or Xanax, does anyone have any suggestions to manage these things. Some days, I even talk myself out of going to Walmart just out of the fear I might have one there. This is becoming debilitating. Drs' baulk at giving controlled substances for very long and I don't seem to be able to find a counselor who has a more hands on approach and suggestions for trying to overcome this. I would like to go to work outside of the house but I am too petrified to drive very far. Thanks so much for any info!
