She has given me great tools, which have helped over time, but I still have some anxiety, sometimes very high, most especially when I have to drive to a place I don't know. I've never had a good sense of direction, and when I get anxious, that only increases. I have a GPS, of course, and I know it will eventually get me to where I'm going, but I still get very anxious. I'm also afraid that I'll get so confused when driving to a new place that I won't be paying enough attention to the road/to other cars, that I'll get in an accident. I've had plenty of near-misses.
I have some social anxiety, but driving is the worst!

I am very anxious driver too! I am constantly worried about getting into a accident or getting a flat tire or breaking down. I also get anxious when I am depressed or I get anxiety when hypomaniac when I am not doing anything.
