Stress Center Peer Support

more anxiety while due to starting the program? I have noticed I get panic while driving and listening to the cd in my car. For example, I will be driving and let my mind wonder off and suddenly I am afraid to drive. why is this happening? I am open to any feedback and advice to help me..thanks so much!

Hello Juls and welcome to the program. It's natural to feel incresaed anxiety when you begin the program. The activity of dricing is not what's causing the problem its the thoughts you have going on while you are driving.

I had some issues with driving after starting the program. The StressCenter.com has a tape/CD called driving with comfort which I found very helpful to listen to. There are alot of good posts on the forums regarding driving/anxiety.

These resources have helped me immensely. take care and God Bless.

Bna, thank you for your feedback. It is really helpful to know I am not alone with these feelings. thank you.

It seems like everyone has increased anxiety when starting the program. I think most of the time, we spend our time trying to fight and make our anxiety go away. The point of the program is to face your anxiety head on which, naturally, makes us anxious.

You are definitely not alone on this one.
