I’m 16 years old and a few months ago I got my drivers licence. However, I have GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) and this greatly impairs my ability and motivation to learn how to drive. Even thinking about driving makes my heart start pumping hard and my breathing shallow. I have managed to do about 6 hours total (mostly in car parks) and I feel behind all of my friends and stupid for having such a hard time with something everybody else finds so easy. Any advice?
