I need help of some sort. Nearly two years ago I was in a serious accident. That year I had a few near death experiences and ended up with ptsd from the accident, i guess it was my breaking point. Ive been through much worse, and a worse accident as well but the one two years ago, followed by witnessing a fatal accident a week later set ptsd in for me
Then almost 2 months ago I had a seizure in the car, wasnt driving but of course it made getting in the car even more difficult when ive been having severe anxiety for two years every time i get in the car. I start to dissociate, have anxiety attacks, the entire ride is scary for me. I dont see my pdoc until thursday for switching my anxiety meds, the meds she gave me dont work.
I get so scared in the car, start to panic and get spacey. I loose feeling in my body and start to go in a fog. Im aware this is dissociative but i dissociate because of the fear. We have to drive 7 hours tomorrow and 7 hours back sunday, court ordered to bring my daughter to spend the summer with her dad.
Any help on lessening the main trigger for my ptsd? Any ideas on how to make the ride easier? I get so afraid...
