I passed my drivers test and bought my own car within the past month.
Despite being new to driving independently, I’m still a confident driver and I love it so far.
I haven’t had any close shaves yet or reasons to doubt how I could handle any emergency situations…

Yet I can’t shake the anxiety I bring on to myself whenever I’m at home and not in the car and scare myself, especially before bed, with thoughts of a high speed crash or images of something awful happening and it puts me off getting in my car again, for no other reason than my own vivid imagination.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is the typical answer that it disappears with time?

TLDR: I scare myself silly with thoughts of car accidents and I can’t figure out if I need to do something about it or let it pass over time
