Thanks CrystalSteph. We have another thing in common: I too tend to always think that I haven't done a good job driving, also if my dad (I usually drive with him) says that I went well.
Some months ago I had decided to really learn driving going step by step and I began again driving for very shorts times in my area, thinking to do more in future...but every time I seemed to go well and then made mistakes...not big things, but for example doing badly a curve...I always remained very scared, so at the end I (again) stopped driving. I didn't drive for months now.
I don't know if, since I have this huge fear, it's enough if I learn to go from a familiar place to another, just to can go to the most 'important' places, or if I can learn to go also in new places without fear. This would be my dream, but I don't know if it's possible. Maybe I actually can drive in new places, but with a tremendous anxiety...I don't want this It's awful to always have fear. Just writing about this I have tears in my eyes
Hope not to upset anyone with my fear. You are great to really try driving Crystal.
You said that your therapist helps you driving, right? Does he/she drive with you?
