I have become town phobic i dont want to leave my town so much has gone on in the last 3 months I lost a very dear frined I do not trust any of the Dr down here I have my reasons to long to go into. I made a appt to see my Dr up north which is 600 miles a 8 hour drive, I am FEEAKING OUT and shaking just thinking about making this trip. all the what ifs is coming out, I cant take the heat I pretty much stay in the house in the air except for early morning, what if i have a panic attack what if the car breaks down and I am stuck in the heat ect ect my mind is spinning. just need some advice on how to get through this or should i just stay home

Yeah, from my understanding simply from having GAD, it can be hard not to think about all the problems that may happen.

600 miles to see a doctor? My goodness! Is there anyone who can come with you? It may be easier since talking with someone is comforting and it can distract you from your problems. Though I think it would be hard for an eight hour drive.... no one is closer?

Hi MzTaz and welcome back!

I am sorry to hear of your predicament regarding your travels for the upcoming appointment.

I was wondering the same thing...can you have someone take you? It will serve as a distraction, and allow you to take a benzodiazepine without the need to drive...

Other than that, I would suggest using your positive mantras and visualization. These are powerful tools to reverse fears and negativity. :)

Let us how you are doing soon...and how we can be of support!
