During one of the runways she ended up saying “Any chance I get to be an angel, I’ll take it, because I will certainly not be going to heaven” and I gotta say that definitely hits different now
Hi All, I (26F) have been struggling with driving for years. I’ve had panic attacks at even so much as the thought of getting behind the wheel, and it has bubbled over to a point where my lack of independence of commuting is causing some tension in my relationship with my loved ones. I have been working with a therapist on my anxieties and my trauma, and I think my progress is paying off at least a little.
With that establishing context out of the way, I finally got my permit again (for the 3rd time), and decided to set money aside specifically for driving lessons. I’ve pre-paid a local driving school for 3 lessons at 1hour each, and this driving school has accommodations for anxious drivers.
Now for the thing I’m proud of: I finally reached out to the driving school to schedule my first lesson. I’ve been trying to for over a month, but any time I’ve started to type out the scheduling email, the Anxiety Paralysis kicks in and I freeze, but I finally did it!
