If I can do it, so can you!
I'm 46 and drove on my own for the first time today. It has been a long journey with starting and stopping many times, several lapsed learners permits (G1 for my fellow Ontarians), three bad to mediocre driving instructors and one very life changing one, several years of therapy with a therapist who is always in my corner, a daily low dose SSRI, and a supportive (but at times, understandably impatient) husband. And a thing that finally made me get into the car without another driver - a sick kitty that needed vet attention while my husband was at work.
If you're struggling, anxious, scared or think you can never do it - I see you. I was you. I'm now a driver. I'm still a work in progress, but now with a huge milestone under my belt.
