I’m a 22F in college and I haven’t driven by myself on a highway in 2 years. I am able to drive in my college town just fine which does not exceed 45 miles per hour, but I can no longer even fathom getting on the highway alone. Last time I tried I felt like I was going to pass out and I started to dissociate which scared me even more. Since then I have only felt comfortable driving with someone else if it requires the highway, and that excludes highways with over 4 lanes or big overpasses. I got my license in 11th grade and begged my parents for a car. I would go everywhere by myself even took a 7 hours trip by myself while it was storming the entire way, but now I feel useless because I am always needing to ask friends or my boyfriend to simply come with me to parents house who live an hour away because I’m so scared of having a panic attack or even worse dissociating. I need serious help and ways to actively overcome this. I used to have a therapist who would only ask about my feelings, that’s shit got old. I need ways on how to overcome this because my grandmother never drove a day in her life and seemed miserable. I don’t like feeling like I’ll be that way too. I want to have kids someday and be able to take them to practices and doctors appointments even if that means getting in the highway. I’m extremely desperate at this point and I’m now even thinking of trying hypnotherapy. Please help!!!
