Hi! I'm 32 years old and I have anxiety while driving (among others). Currently, I'm taking driving lessons, just one so far, and it was terrible. When I checked the mirrors it was like I looked but I didn't see. I don't know if it's understandable but I was so anxious that it kind of blurred my vision. At the end of the lesson my arm muscle was sore and tense. 
I have never driven by myself, in the past I just practiced a few times with someone, that wasn't patient or calm by the way so that didn't help. The thing is I need to learn how to drive because it's a matter of survival. I need to get a full licence. I don't have anybody to drive me around and I would like to go to different places as well, beyond the coverage of the transit system. I don't know how to overcome this fear of driving, the fear of the cars around me. Does anybody have any suggestions? Has anybody overcome their anxiety while driving?
Thank you
