I had my first one 3 years ago when I was driving to a buddies place and again the next day when I was on the freeway. Both times happened when I was behind the wheel. That first one was one of the most traumatic things I've gone through and I felt like I was dying. Since then I have graduated from college and am in the process of trying to obtain full-time employment but I haven't been able to get behind the wheel and not feel like I'm on the verge of panicking every time.

I haven't had a full-blown panic attack in 3 years but I'm constantly worried that I will every time I drive and I can't just immediately pull-off or turn around. I felt one coming on two weeks ago when I was driving home from the gym and again yesterday morning when I was driving somewhere with my brother. I am now taking medication but I have never taken a pill to stop myself from panicking because I want to deal with them without meds. I am also seeing a therapist now. It's really hindering my growth.
