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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
