I'm a very safe when I drive, I follow all the rules, always pull over to look at my phone and do everything I can to keep myself and others safe.
It's when someone is tailgating, aggressively driving close to me, cuts me off or is on their phone. As soon as a hint of any of this happens, my heart and legs just stop working. It's the beginning symptoms of a panic attack for me, but I can always get it under control, or I pull over for a break.
How can I be less of a nervous wreck? I can't just focus on myself and my driving. The thing that is the most upsetting is seeing others on their phones behind me. In front, I can control how close I get and stay safe, but if they're behind and I have no way of letting them pass I freak out.
I've been cut off multiple times, and many other little things that have happened while driving. (Never been in an accident of any degree)
I'm still shaking right now, and I've been out of my car for 20 minutes.
