I wish you much encouragement for taking positive steps to feel more fulfilled about your life. Don't try do to much at once though. Just take small steps even if you feel impatient.

I have taken many postive steps in trying to get over my distorted and destroyed self image over the last year but I also realized that trying to do too much at once was causing me more anxiety than what it was worth. That feeling of being overwhelmed and panicky is quite understandable. So I take it day by day now. And if that song I just learnt to sing in French isn't quite finished by the end of the day, I tell myself it is ok!
I do not drive either. It took me 15 years to understand my phobia and to allow myself to not feel guilty for it.

You have some wonderful goals set. Perhaps a good place to start would be to get the treatment you need for that unresolved grief.

I wish you much strength and peace of mind!
