Never in my life have I had a panic attack while driving my car. I have used driving as a coping skill since I was 16. Came from absolutely nowhere and I seriously felt like I was going to die.
It was raining pretty hard, wipers going on high, headlights were blinding me as usual, my music wasn't up loud, and it was late at night. My heart started pounding and I was trembling. Became convinced that the cars coming towards me were driving in my lane or swerving in my lane on purpose. I don't know why but I truly believed the other drivers were trying to either crash into me or were trying to run me off the road. I noticed other stuff going on but long story short, I didn't think I was going to make it home that night.

I know the feeling I think that's the worst place I've had a panic attack, driving on the highway. Except in my case, I was more worried about losing control myself instead of others around me. There was really no particular reason other than the fact that my nerves were frazzled from a lot of other things going on in my life at the time and I guess it was just too much stimuli for my nerves.
