Bendee Wendee, a fellow New Yorker here too! I have found that if I listen to music or read while I am in transit, it tends to get my mind off of worrying and reducing the stress. Once it happens a few times and you get to your destination without any "episodes" as I like to call them, the travel part gets easier. Although I have never gotten car sick so I certainly can't compare my episodes to yours. While I always try to stay away from meds, I found that hyoscyamine worked well, ginger sucking candies and yes, even therapy have all played a part in my "recovery". I always like to say I am a work in progress, as nothing ever gets to 100%, but only you can make the effort to decide how to get over your anxieties. I hope this forum, in what ever way, gives you the strength you need. For me, just knowing there are soooo many people out there who have gone through what I have been going through for so many years, gives me the validity that I am not crazy, I really do have something that affects my health and am finding many ways to handle it.
