Nick,

I have had days when I can drive and days when I can't. That up and down of the PCS roller coaster is not uncommon.

You were likely watching the traffic and other visual images too much when your mom was driving. There is a different processing going on when riding than when driving. I have to manage how I watch when riding shotgun. If traffic gets to chaotic or other things create a chaotic image, I have to focus away from that chaos. When I am driving, I need to avoid driving during these chaos times or I might need to pull to the side of the road and stop.

Just because you had an episode of anxiety while riding does not mean your driving is over, forever.

Just consider your anxiety condition before getting behind the wheel.

Are you scheduled to see the doctor again for a review of your meds? You really need some relief from your anxiety.

My best to you.
