The term ‘Parking anxiety’ might sound a bit dramatic to most, but in our ever changing ever growing busy cites, it’s something that many people face. However, that being said it isn’t something that people discuss,  In fact, you may not even know that you’re experiencing it; so much of our daily lives consist of fairly stressful situations that we simply expect a certain level of stress in day - to day living.  But ‘Parking anxiety’ can be experienced just out of the blue, even if you’re usually a competent Parker, which of course would be pretty confusing if you don’t usually suffer any sort of anxiety.

What are the symptoms of parking anxiety?

Parking anxiety may be brought on by the fact that you might not be able to find a place to park or won’t be able to park when you do find one. The symptoms vary from person to person, but they typically include:

• • Adrenaline (your fight-or-flight response)
• • Shakiness
• • Breathlessness
• • Sweaty palms
• • A sense of claustrophobia
• • Tension 
  
  Now this reaction may sound pretty extreme to someone who has never experienced parking anxiety but, a quick Google search confirms that parking anxiety can actually affect all drivers.
  

Parking anxiety when it’s at home …

It’s not just finding a parking space when you’re on a journey that can give people parking anxiety. In a survey conducted by the AA 1 in 10 people said there had been times they’d decided not to use their car out of fear they wouldn’t find somewhere to park on their return. And, 19% said they “always worry” about being able to park up as they get closer to home.
