Sometimes when I'm driving my car, I think someone is going to pull up beside me!


Question:

Sometimes when I'm driving my car, I think someone is going to pull up beside me and shoot me.?

Or I'm afraid if I look at someone, they will try to follow me and kill me. Othertimes, right before I go to sleep, I have visions of a bad car accident. What could this be?

I am being serious here.....thanks for your answers!


Answers:

Sounds like a phobia, which is a type of anxiety. Anxiety is very common (20% of the population have some form, I think) and there are different treatment options available including medication and psychotherapy. You should go see your doctor or a mental health counsellor for a referal. The sooner you are treated, the better your chances of fully overcoming the phobia.

Good Luck:)
