Has anyone with panic disorder, had an attack, on a trip, and returned home?
I keep doing this, a lot, and I know no cure.
If you were a passenger, have you ever become hysterical, and asked to be driven home?
It all started with a trip to London via Hong Kong. I felt panicky, so someone suggested I should go home. Ever since then, I have felt the same about all trips, and think, if I feel bad, I should go home. Now my heart is breaking as I am missing out on things.
OMG! I thought I was the only one who had panic attacks while traveling!
I’ve had this problem for years, since I was a kid, but I never told anyone about it or got help for it until last summer when I started having panic attacks triggered by something else, too.
Since I didn’t get help, you’re probably wondering how I survived for 30+ years when I had to travel. lol
Well, I simply told myself that nothing bad would happen to me, and that people all over the world love to travel, and I should, too. Then I concentrated on something else, and kept my mind on other things while talking to my husband and kids while we drove.
Each trip got easier for me because I had learned from the past trips that I was fine and there was no reason to panic.
But then last summer something else started causing me to have panic attacks and I had to call my doctor for meds. They worked like a charm.
However, I also recently discovered the website below and signed up for the free information, then I bought the ebook. It’s working wonders for me, and guess what? No more meds!
Good luck to you.

Has your doc ever tried you on an anti-anxiety medication?

What exactly are you asking? If we’ve had an attack but kept driving and gotten home or what? Revise a little and I may come back to answer this.
