So lately I have this really weird issue where whenever I’m driving alone I feel a weird wave of nervousness or even anxiety. My breathing becomes shallow and rapid and my hands become clammy with a racing mind. This is extremely un like me and I don’t understand what the hell might be going on. It’s gotten to the point over just a few weeks to where I basically dread going anywhere alone now and have even had a episode where I had to park on the side of the road and call my wife to chill tf out. 

The weirdest thing is that I know it’s absolutely ridiculous. I don’t know why the hell I’m getting anxious and can’t figure out for the life of me what could have triggered this? I haven’t had any accidents or close calls. No bad experiences driving by myself either, just woke up one day and was suddenly a chicken s*** when behind the wheel by myself

Has anyone else ever experienced this and how did you over come it, I feel pretty pathetic, embarrassed and a little concerned because I’m usually a pretty laid back guy. 

If someone’s in the passenger seat I’m completely fine and just go about the drive like I should but as soon as it’s just me and the road I seem to get oddly overwhelmed/anxious. 

I’ve been driving for literally half my life, have a perfect driving record and a Class A CDL….

Any advice is appreciated
