When Driving Feels Scary: My Unexpected Panic Attack

I've been driving for about 5 years, but today something happened that really shook me. After a long week of working 60 hours, barely eating or sleeping, I suddenly felt terrified on a familiar freeway curve. My heart raced, and it felt like everything was unreal.

Now I realize how important it is to take care of myself—eat, sleep, and hydrate—especially before driving. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it.
