I (24F) have driven a car less than 10 times in my life due to horrible driving anxiety. It used to be anxiety with everything but the only thing that really still lingers is anxiety with driving. I have my learners permit and I’ve renewed it more times than I want to admit, but today for the first time in two years, I drove!

My boyfriend was in the car with me and he coached me through it. I drove to and from my sisters house (only a grand total of about 2 miles and mostly residential), but honestly this was such a huge step for me and I’m so proud of myself.
