I've had this phobia ever since my first panic attack and I thought it was gone up until about six months ago. I can't drive on the highway, during rush hour or if some unexpected traffic pops up I panic so bad. Every day when I go to work i dread driving home every night. It's getting really difficult to deal with because I have two jobs and drive quite a bit. I can't shake that I'll just get trapped out on the highway broken down and might die when I'm out there or something. It causes so much anxiety. I still have other issues too. Not sure if I'm losing my mind or if it's just all my anxiety and ocd or if it's something more. Ugh. Any help or has anyone had this traffic, trapped, phobia?
