Hello everyone I (22M)wanted to make this post to show my journey with driving anxiety. Maybe it can help give someone with motivation. I’ve always been very anxious about learning how to drive I’ve tried a few times but always flake out but this time I feel like it’ll be different. It’s been over a year since I tried to learn and in a few hours today I will be attempting again.I’m honestly terrified but feeling pretty optimistic this time around,Wish me luck I’ll edit this post after and let yall know how it went :)

EDIT-so I went to a empty parking lot and practiced how to turn right and just getting comfortable with the car and it went great. I was very nervous at 1st like heart racing but after a while I calmed down and it felt great. I’ll be practicing on my days off and making more post for anyone who wants to follow along!

I’m (22M)planning on talking to my doctor about antidepressants because my anxiety and depression has gotten so bad it’s to the point where it’s effecting my life. I’m having a lot of trouble to even learn to drive or just go out in the world it really feels I’m always anxious and unmotivated.I’m hoping the medication could make a good change in my life.

What did you feel during the 1st week?

What side effects did you experience?

Would this help with learning to drive?

How long are people usually on them for?

Do you regret taking them?
