Since going through the menopause I've been suffering some weird irrational fears. One such fear is motorway driving. I have always really enjoyed it before and been fully confident, I've been really glad for the freedom it's given me and made many journeys long and short on the motorways.
Anyway that all changed a year or two ago and I've suffered from a serious of crippling panic attacks, some which have made me have to pull over on the motorway. I've even had to extend the journey by another day as I just couldn't find it in me to get back on.
Anyway last week I did a three hour journey. On the way was fine drove the whole way on the motorway. On the way back I did however lose a bit of my nerve and drove the last hour back on the a roads but I DID IT!
I was listening to a hypnosis podcast on Spotify for a few weeks before hand and can't say if that's what did it for definite but if anyone else struggles it's definitely worth a try- it's called driving anxiety hypnosis and it's by a guy called Adam Cox
