Driving Anxiety SQUASHED.
I have had pretty crippling anxiety around driving on the highway, or driving long distances for about 10 years now. When I saw an ad pop up on Insta that was claiming to help with driving anxiety, you know I had to look. I'd never heard of "beta blockers" before, so I proceeded to do some research. I found there to be very little reason not to try them, and the (possible) side effects were nothing to be worried about (because I'm antsy about putting ANYTHING new in my body, so I did thorough research). After I made up my mind to try them, the online doctors visit was pretty quick, but they asked very specific questions to get to know me, my type of anxiety, and a pretty decent health history. The doctor deemed me a good candidate, and sent in the prescription (to be mailed directly to be). I ordered them over a month ago, and I've been nervous to even try them. But last weekend, I had to drive to a mom's brunch which was 40 minutes away and way outside my normal circle of in-town driving. So, I decided to take one pill to help me. I took it an hour before I needed to leave. I did start to fall back into my old anxiety spiral of thoughts, and I even thought "lemme just turn around and tell them I can't come", but I never ever got the horrible stomach flipping sensation, my palms didn't get sweaty, my throat didn't close up, my mouth didn't get dry, my heart wasn't racing. And so, even though my mind wanted me to spiral, the Kick was DEFINITELY doing it's its job, by keeping those adrenaline symptoms at bay. It flipping worked!!!!! I guess I was a little shocked? But I used them again a few days later, and same experience. These things TRULY do what they say they're going to do. So even if my brain wants to feel upset, my body will not follow suit if I have Kick in my system. And hopefully, it will allow me to overcome this driving anxiety once and for all, and one day, I won't need Kick at all because I will have kinda....re-wired my brain. Im very thankful to have such a tool to go to, and you best believe I'm going to tell my friends about it. 🙌
