So I passed my driving test 4 years ago and got a car not long after  I passed my test. At first it was great, I could be independent, I didn’t have to wait for buses in the rain or worry about being late for work anymore which I was really happy about! But then a couple of years ago, right around the time I realised how bad my anxiety was, I really HATED driving. I would get so anxious that I would avoid driving anywhere other than to work and back. I just can’t seem to get over my anxiety about driving since that day, I don’t even know what triggered it. Now I can’t dive anywhere that I have not been before and I still have not driven on a motorway yet as the thought just sends me into a complete panic! It has stopped me from doing things with friends in the past as I just can’t drive to places, no matter how much I battle with myself and try and be brave and just go, I can’t. I just really, really don’t like how anxious I feel when driving and it worries me. I am terrified I will have an accident or something will happen to me, I know it sounds strange but I can’t help it and I really don’t know how I can overcome it!
