Hi scaredycat,
Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physicians advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When youre finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor.
We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise that you work slowly through the program and not jump ahead. You may find that program helpful in overcoming your fear of driving. Also be sure to discuss this issue with your doctor or therapist. They may be able to provide you with guidance as to how to overcome this concern.
If you have any questions or concerns with our "TOOLS" you can contact our support department at support@paniccenter.net.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Casey

Hi I am new and I was dignosed with a panic disorder last year, I have been taking meds and I had some therapy. I have made some progress like talking to new people and getting out and doing different things. But I still have a huge issue to get over and that is driving, I have my beginers but I have not been practising, everytime I start or even think about driving I get a panic attack. All my friends and family do not understand this and pressure me everyday to drive they think I am being silly. Which of course makes me feel worse about myself and get mad at myself for not even trying. Anyways I realy want to start, I am very scared but I need to drive because I live out in the country and my husband is at work all day and i have small kids. I need to get out and to be able to take them places, please help me with steps I can take to make this happen. Thank you(sorry this is so long)
