Hi this is my first time posting/reaching out to Reddit but what better place to ask then in the Anxiety section?

From reading through posts I’m glad there are other people who feel like me, and I don’t feel so alone anymore..

I’m a 27 year old female living in a city with tons of public transport every 5 minutes at almost every corner. I postponed learning to drive for this excuse, but I KNOW driving is an essential life skill and it’s just good to have. Unfortunately I absolutely cannot get past the intense fear in my head that I feel like I would be terrible at it. I feel like I’m a road hazard if I were to drive. I get anxious so easily with random things, and some people in my city drive like maniacs. I think that i would be prone to panic and have an anxiety attack in the middle of the road or highway. I can’t even imagine myself on a highway honestly. I don’t know how to get over this intense fear, or if the driving instructor assigned to me would even understand how intense the fear is… my anxiety is about my own driving, and the driving of other people, I just don’t trust anyone , least of all myself. Does anyone have advice or felt the exact same? 

Any support appreciated thank you xo
