I stopped driving on the freeway about 6 year ago. I was hit by a semi-truck in 1995 while going over a bridge and the accident totaled my car. I was fine until late 2000, early 2001. I learned how to drive in 1994 and I drove on the freeway up until 6 years ago. One day I was driving and started to panic. It would go away and then it could come back the next week. Before you knew it I was panicking every single day. The strange thing is that it was specific to a certain area on the freeway. After I got past that area I was fine. Months later I was no longer able to drive on the freeway at all. When I did try I would stop right in the middle of moving traffic, turn on my hazard lights and freeze up. Now, I get nervous when driving on 2-3 lane highways (not freeways). Sometimes I get nervous driving down a normal street. I refuse to take medicine for this.
Have you ever experienced this or do you think it will go away eventually? I think it’s a mind thing.
