Ttlynn610 firstly don't worry so much about the stressing thing, it is natural and happens to a lot of ppl.

I have had way worse and ridiculous stresses and issues which I have been working on and coming out of

i will share with you what has helped me
-knowledge of stress, knowing that your mind naturally comes up with stress-paranoia as a defence mechanism (obviously in this case we our alarms are going of wayyy too early and ridiculously)

-give time to yourself. Talk to yourself. Go for an evening walk by yourself. See nature, appreciate nature, appreciate life.
Talk to yourself and find out why you feel this anxiety when in a car. Try and reason with yourself, yes it has been bad luck that I got hit 6 times, but if everybody else in the world drives their cars relaxed and worry free so can i...Why am I so unnecessarily worried.
Plus worrying so much while i'm driving is only going to cause me an accident.

-think positive, be positive, value and appreciate all the things you have. Ppl have way worse problems, so surely you can fight and get out of this.

Positivity positivity positivity
relax relax relax

good luck

Thank you for your opinion on this matter. I do try to think positively and i'm starting to actually laugh at myself.... I mean really I know that these incidents weren't harming to myself or my vehicle..... So in my mind I try to keep telling myself that they weren't that bad and that I need to be able to move past this before I become one of the drivers that hit me and cause an accident myself. Its a bit funny to me that I understand where this anxiety/fear comes from and still can't get it out of my mind although I do believe its silly to worry about it..... You have to live life not worry about the ways it could end.

Let me know if that works for you.Driving is my only(huge!!!!)phobia.Thanks.Patty

Emdr(eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) works great on something like this too, any phobias and accidents and you do not have to go to a psychiatrist for this and get pumped full of pills, if you go to the right psychologist that does this, it only takes about 2-3 sessions, it sort of reminds me of a baloon that is being released, it is soooo unique! The best to you!
Sincerely,
