Anybody get over anxiety driving

I have been dealing with anxiety for Almost 2 years now and I was dehydrated one day and didn't know it and started to feel faint so I drank water and nervously made it back to where I was pose to be well ever since that day I haven't quite been right driving I always think im lightheaded again. Or im going to pass out and im sick of it.. I barely drive into town alone.....

Sounds like you have anxiety. When you felt lightheaded the first time were you driving?

Meditation and making yourself believe that you are ok. Medications work while you are trying to deal with the root cause of the anxiety.

Aaawww!  Bet there is a quick-fix for that: when you go out, take drinking water with you, plus some sort of candy/mints that contain sugar.  Water will keep you hydrated, and it's easy to get a refill of water almost anywhere for free.  The candy is for if you haven't eaten for awhile, your blood sugar can drop and make you feel faint - the candy will stop that. :)
