Driving Phobia Since September 2008
I have been driving since i was 16 years old with no driving phobia what so ever. Never had been anxious or fearful of driving or riding with somebody. I think it was an overwhelming amount of stress when i moved out on my own and my girlfriend was treating me like a was a piece of dirt. She fucked my head up so bad. So i was going down the freeway and i think i completely lost self control so i was jerking the steering wheel and i really did not want to but my therapist said it is what is called an impulse control problem. so i ended up wrecking my car. So i did not drive for 6 months. so when i finally got another car on the way driving it home, it felt like my heart sank down into my stomach and a cold chill went down my spine. So i had to turn the car around and my wife had to drive me back and forth to work. and we already went through three cars this year cause i cant drive my car to work and she goes drops me off to work and she hits the streets and drives the car to hell. My psychiatrist put me on abilify 10 mg, xanax 1mg, and effexor 75mg. but it don't take away the driving phobia. and my new therapist keeps telling me the same thing that its a choice, i dont have driving phobia, and driving is a very anxious thing, if you were not anxious about driving i would say there was something wrong with you.} my therapist aint no help. i think i have a self control problem with jerking the steering wheel and there is something that needs to be done about it. can somebody give me some advice plz?
