As of August, it seems every time I get in the car to go anywhere, after 10 minutes of riding around, I get nauseous and extremely panicky and think I'm gonna be carsick. I've never once had a problem actually V* in the car, (praying I didn't just jinx myself) but it seems lately I get to feel very sick after 10-15 minutes of being in a vehicle. It's come to the point where when asked if I want to go anywhere or do anything, I say no. I've been a shut in except for my therapist and my job, both of which I can walk to, otherwise I'd have neither! I'm wondering how the heck I can make it so it's safe for me to ride in the car again, because my Mom's out of sympathy, she says to grow a pair of balls and get in the car, but we ALL know it's waaaaay easier said than done, because we've all got our mondo big issues here. I'm just not really sure, I'm tired of being stuck in the house, but at the same time, riding in the car immediately flips a N* trigger and I have a horrible panic attack about V* on the side of the road or the car because so far, it seems nothing is helping. I've gotten a bag of gingersnaps to eat, and I try to relax but I just can't. Mom wants me to go clothes shopping with her, but I have to keep telling her no, that there's other stuff keeping me home, like the ride.
Any suggestions??? thank you!!
