Growlycat, the rewarding method is great! That's what's currently helping me out the most. And even though I live in a busy area, everything is pretty much near by (Library,malls,grocery stores).. I'm planning on going by myself to the grocery store today! Mondays are nice, my favorite days to drive is on Sunday morning because for some reason it's so peaceful.. oh and everyone is usually sleeping lol!

I use google maps a lot! Amazing that you mentioned it, because I would soon have to drive to school on my own and I stayed on google maps looking at the entire route in street view just to get familiar with the routes and lanes. And you're right, it's extremely helpful!

I am trying to get to know my phobia much more by reading about it as well, I am going to print out my state's drivers ed manual soon too! I feel that I just want to know every rule and do things right on the road...if I feel that I know what I am doing then I should be okay, the anxiety usually kicks in when I feel like I don't know what I am doing. Music, deep breathing and meditation usually helps me calm down
