On tues. i have a drs. appt. that is 2 1/2 hours away from home. I have a hard time traveling that far away from home and am already feeling nervous about it. Please give me advice on how to drive there and not freeze up with panic. I won't be able to take my emergency anxiety medication because i can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight.

I would ask the doctor about the possibility of taking your anxiety meds.
A lot of times they will tell you to take all your normal meds, just no food
or drink other than water. It might be OK .

I just recently took a trip away, my first one, and I had a bit of anxiety about it. What helped me is taking a few deep belly breaths, saying to myself " I am safe, I am okay, I will arrive at my destination safely" I also played some music which helped distract my worry a lot. Hope this helps and have a safe trip.

I know how you feel. Maybe you can take someone with you on that long drive Sometime have someone with you help you relax. Maybe listen to your fav music or read a book. Just try to relax and take it easy. Good luck. Hugs
