Beaflower, oh no don't worry you're not upsetting no one with this fear! *hugs*
If anything, you've actually made me feel better just knowing that I am not the only one who feels this way! It would be my dream as well to just get in the car and drive freely with no worries. That is my goal for this year! I don't currently have a therapist but my husband is sort of like my therapist, he's the only person to push me to do it even if I drive him crazy and he's the one I drive with.

Just remember that even if it takes a while, it is possible. You can do this, you can overcome it and everyone starts somewhere. Never compare yourself to others, I made that mistake constantly telling myself "I am trying to learn this too late, why didn't I learn earlier like this person or that etc.." even if there are people that learn faster than others, we all have to start somewhere and I am sure within time,effort and dedication you can conquer this fear..just like I am trying my best to do so as well! If you need any extra support or would ever like to discuss more, feel free to message me!

Artchic528, thank you for writing! The more people express themselves and admit this fear has made me feel stronger because for the longest I've felt no one had this issue. Your license is a great step to getting there, I understand your anxiety gets in the way as mines did as well when it was time of getting my license but you are capable of doing this, I believe in you and I know this anxiety seems like it gets the best of us at times but we will find ways to eliminate it!

Is there anything that calms anyone specifically during the anxiety?
