Hi, guys! I (28) have many different anxieties; one of my biggest barriers being driving anxiety. I do drive, and have driven for about 12 years, now. The longest drive I’ve taken behind the wheel was only 40 miles. I only started taking highways about 4 years ago (I had an experience as a teen that caused my highway fears) and that was only a 20-30 minute drive for work. I’ve gotten very used to this stretch of highway, as it’s very easy. 

I am going to be staying 3 hours from home in March with a friend. I want to take my own car, so I have freedom. I could ride with my friend, but I’m not a fan of being stuck. I have to pass through a huge city in my state; the rest is country land. But I can’t stop getting anxious over the city highway!

The merging, the fast driving, the tailgating and all that. 

Any tips would be greatly and deeply appreciated 💕
