Hi everyone,
Dealing with anxiety which gets much worse when the depression gets worse like it is now. I have always had a driving phobia and never got my drivers license. This of course makes life more difficult in itself because it's almost vital to drive to get where we need to go, work, store, etc. Having to depend on others to get around effects my self esteem so much which has always been very low. The fear is so strong. I believe this is one important key to get my life where it needs to be. (Going through major marriage trouble etc.) The more I realize that though the more I fear driving. This has been a longtime battle that I have been to counselling and psychiatrists for but never had the money to continue counselling to get enough help and now I am not in a good financial position to afford conselling. I also never met anyone with this phobia....makes me feel even more alone. Has anyone heard of this type of phobia or know anyone who has and how they dealt with it and/or overcame it? With the deep depression I'm in now I can't see myself trying to move forward even in baby steps to drive, but I do know it would help turn my life around...I think.
