So, I have severe anxiety, have battled with it since I was a child, and now, it's slowly crippling me in every aspect of my life. I've had my driver's license for two years, but have only driven a handful of times. My level of anxiety about driving is beyond comprehension it seems, because even my therapist has hit me with the, you've got to get over it and you can do it. Those words sound great as I've told the several people that have told them to me, but just do it is the last thing that comes to my mind when I'm trembling behind the steering wheel and haven't even started up the car yet. 

I'm now in a really difficult spot, where I've lost the carpool I had to work and now I'm not sure how I can make it there without driving or spending nearly $80 a week on transportation. It feels like I'm being crushed by two walls, and I'm so sick of hearing just do it. I know, the only way to conquer the fear is to slowly try, but I'm just so tired of others making me feel alienated because of my anxiety. It makes me feel like I'm less than capable, or that I haven't matured because I'm not "transportationally independent".

Tl;dr, Severe driving anxiety, and though I know practicing is the only way to help, I hate how it makes me feel hearing someone say it.
