Does anyone know what to do if your having a panic attack?
I have to go to my sisters tomorrow and she lives a hour away from me she is going to come and pick me up but when i get in cars for a long period of time i usually have a panic attack. I really need to go down there to help her with her kids so she can work because her baby daddy left her. I really don’t want her to lose her job. Can any one help me please.?
Think about what your triggers are. Is it motion sickness? Being cooped up in a car? Try breaking the trip up. Stop for a cup of coffee every 30 minutes. Maybe take a little nip before you go. If you are not driving, it is ok for your blood alcohol is 0.04%.
Try talking to a councilor, panic can cost you a job. And there are ways to overcome it.
My Dad’s cousin had panic attacks every time she flew. She popped the pills to fly to Hawaii. They did not work, and they had to find a boat to take them back.

About all that will help is an appropriate medication. Xanax is usually effective. Have you tried just laying down in the back seat for the trip? Often, it’s not the car so much as the environment moving past you, the traffic, etc.

Have your doctor prescribe a sedative so you can sleep most of the way there. You can talk to her the first 10 or 15 minutes until it starts to kick in
