Rain and Driving or Riding

I have severe anxiety whenever I have to ride in the rain (I am not driving right now because my anxiety is so bad). Does anyone else have this or I am the only one? I don't know why it freaks me out- the noise of the rain on the windshield, the wipers and the traffic- all of it just puts me into extreme anxiety. Anyone else? Blessings to all-

I am not crazy about driving in the rain either and I do try to avoid going on any long trips (more then 15 minutes) if it's raining. I am at my worst in traffic though. I feel trapped...and I can't breath. It sucks.

yes, I am afraid to ride with anyone in the rain and don't like to drive myself. I always check the weather if I am going out even for a short distance. Makes sense to me, some people drive crazy in the rain and it is dangerous.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
