Ok it has taken me this long to spell this out here but i really really need help. I have developed this fear of driving on the highway for the past few months. I had it before but not as bad. Hubby thinks its my pregnancy hormones making it seem worse than it is. But i seriously feel stressed out just by the thought of driving on the highway. The problem is it cant be avoided. I HAVE to travel on the highway for about 30-35 miles to get to school twice a week. And i know its stupid but i dont know how to get over it. Any ideas, suggestions etc? Please, serious replies only, this is a very tough and serious situation for me to be in. I dont want to not be able to finish my degree just because i am scared of driving on the highway. I go real slow in the right lane and just get all scared when people are passing me. It doesnt help that its only a two lane highway going to MN and is a very busy one at that. I do fine while driving in the city.
Please, please help me out and give me some suggestions and/or duas if possible. I am driving myself nuts here, no pun intended.
Ira, its something that many people face. The only thing you have to do is not to think too much the whole driving part of it. One way the counter that is by developing a habit of listening to radio and listening to news. Make a cd of songs that used to like when you were high school or even in younger age, what that will do is it will take ur mind off driving and u will feel less intimidated
