Driving

Hate it hate it hate it!

Freaked out while trying to park today, my parents arguing over what direction I should be turning to avoid hitting the car next to me probably didn't help...

I've got less than a month until I fail my test, as well.

Try to calm down (((RIO))). See if you can just practice in a lot for a while where there is more room to park until you get used to Driving. Sorry you had such a bad day driving, hopefully it will getbetter as soon a you can get your parents OUT OF THE CAR. LOL. Best wishes to you RIO., Soidhonia

I know!!!

I HATE DRIVING

It used to be REALLY REALLY hard for me, and sometimes I had to pull over when I got TOO tense. I have to try really hard to not get worked up over little mistakes and near misses. But I've gotten a lot better than I used to be and now I can actually enjoy driving!!!

When I was learning to drive, I made sure I never had more than one parent in the car at a time, too. XD That helped!

when i first started driving i would get alot of anxiety... one time my uncle was letting my practice and i got freaked about not know which way to straighten up the wheel after i had made a turn that i went to push the brake and accidentally hit the gas and we ran into a ditch.... and i was supposed to take my test in 2 weeks .. i was so upset i wanted to quit but didnt,..... i ended up taking the test and i PASSED..... so dont give up ull pass..... just keep practising ull do fine....

I haven't driven in over 4 years. I am absolutely petrified of it.

sorry you are struggling with anxiety while learning to drive, here i used a drop called rescue remedy



check if you can get something like this or something similer to help while you are learning make sure it doesnt effect any meds you are on

(((Soidhonia))) Thanks. Dad said he'd take me to the car park at his work, where it's quieter, so hopefully that'll help. Thanks, I hope so too! Normally it's just dad in the car with me, but I was driving everyone into town yesterday.

Thanks for replying, KShapiro. Sorry you hate driving as well. That's great you're finding it easier than you used to, though!

That's probably a good idea. It is normally just one of them in the car, luckily.

Thanks for replying, skittles. Wow! That would have been scary, but that's great you didn't give up, and still managed to pass. Thanks, I hope so.

Thanks for replying, mybestkids2. Sorry driving scares you as well.

Thanks, katheryn. I'll look out for that! Our complementary health centre has just closed down, but there might be somewhere around here that stocks it. I'm not on any meds, so that's not a problem.
