Most drivers have a little more emotion than you do.

I really hope it's a girl. Anybody else I wouldn't give a crap. But @Brownslave688 with a daughter is just about the best entertainment you could get. They make movies based on stuff like that.Wait till he has that baby girl

Have you tried seeing a therapist/counselor? Taking drugs is not the way out. I had panic attacks from constant layoffs and the uncertainty of work. Seeing a therapist really helped me out! Talking out your problems and insecurities can work wonders, you just have to be honest with yourself and swallow your manly pride!

I suffered from mental breaks and anxiety most of my short life. I found staying hydrated and taking supplements helped the most. Sometimes you just need time and klonopins though... Also, if the idea of going to the store freaks you out, don't go. Order a pizza, avoid undue stress during your time off.

If your not sure what is causing it I think a shrink might be the way to go. I've been to one for different reasons and sometimes talking things out can really help and make you feel better. Good luck

Ive been developing panic/anxiety too. It is increased coming down from alcohol. But i only drink on weekends never weeknights when i have to drive the next day. So drink saturday, panic attacks sunday. Its just getting more and more brutal. Ive never had these anxiety attacks until about a year ago. They are getting so bad i think even if i don't drink they will keep coming. Just saying you aren't the only one.
I this case, the obvious answer is to stop drinking whatever it is. It might mean leaving off all alcohol, or it might mean a specific spirit, eg I don't touch vodka, makes me crazy.
OP, in my opinion you should check your diet. Leave off all the corn syrup, as much sugar as you can avoid, and also cheap white breads like fastfood buns. If you can ask your doctor for diet recommendations I think you will be surprised how much you can help your sitch just w food. Hard to change, though, I miss my pizza!

I feel ya bro...maybe not to ur extent but mine mostly falls on Sunday's. Work related Anxiety is a real condition. My fiancé gives me 
all the time cause once Sunday rolls around I'm a miserable s.o.b. Once I get through Monday I'm usually good for the week. But yes, if u drink it might help for the mean time but will come back even worse the next day. I too stopped drinking during the week n it seems to help a TON. My brother actually lost his job bc anxiety issues. Just gotta find some meds that work for u. #1 thing tho call the union, hate to lose your job over it. It's 2016 there's no reason u should feel that way, there's meds for pretty much everything. Maybe going back in the hub is the way to go.

Ive maintained that the number one obstacle to overcome for drivers is the mental part of the job.
When I first began driving in the 90's, I too had much anxiety coupled with nervousness. I was a mess on Sunday's , just like many of you here. I quit drinking a long time ago because I was drinking the anxiety away and we all know this is a bad idea.
I would arrive to work early on Mondays to see what the boss had me running. If I was going out cold, he would let me leave early, this helped with getting familiarize with the route.
Although, I don't experience any major anxiety today, I still maintain my breating excercises, taking deep prolonged breaths and holding them as to decrease my heart rate.
Your case seems to require proffessional medical help, please get it. I know drivers who have been reassigned to a different job due to medical issues.
