Suggest treatment for panic attacks while travelling
human
I was in a car accident on 9\9\14 I was the passener in the car we were coming out of a slight fog bank at ten thirty pm and we hit a very large cow that was standing accross the road totaling our car, when we came to a stop i couldnt get out of the car and paniced i kicked the door open. Ever since that night I am very afraid to ride in any vehicle. Driving im not so bad because i have some what of control but being a passenger scares me i get very tense, anxiety sets in, im jumpy, I am afraid to be on freeway or around a lot of vehicle, the rain or just darknes scares me especially now fog. I make the drivers i ride with nervous or mad, im deathly afraid of being in a accident and i dont know what to do, or who to see. i panick when just getting in a car. my body tenses up and wont relax. i live in everett wa.

HelloWelcome here.I think you have developed phobia of riding in the car after accident. This phobia precipitates anxiety attacks when you travel in the carI would suggest you to take tablet propranolol (prescription drug) half an hour before travelling. This will help to control anxiety.Also, psychological treatments like behaviour therapy and biofeedback will help you to overcome your fear.A psychiatrist will help you in this.Thanks.
