Tips for dealing with anxiety while driving?

I didn't realize I had anxiety until 3yrs ago when I had to drive through Dallas Texas at night in a large pick up pulling a uhaul trailer at night while my husband and kids were sleeping 😳 And now I can feel my anxiety everytime I drive, I try not to make it known especially when my kids are in the truck, I try to remain as confident as possible, even though I'm not. Do yall have any tips that'll help? I'm sure my undiagnosed ADHD doesn't help.

I had a hard time driving as well. I used to take the bus because it got bad. What helped me was therapy. My tips are put on some soft music, get something to fiddle with your fingers, get a bottle of cold water and put it on your neck and take deep breaths. I still struggle sometimes.
