Panicing about starting driving lessons!

[winterwonderland]

I've suffered from anxiety since I was 17 ( I'm now 27) and I've been on and off of Fluxotine tablets since then.

I had a baby 7 months ago and need to start to learn to drive. I did take some lessons when I was 18 but had to stop them in the end as I was constantly worrying about them. It was'nt necessarily the driving aspect I worried about it was the possibility of being sick whilst driving.

My fear has always been being sick in a public place.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation and have any tips for me?

Many thanks.

You will be fine when you start driving, since you will be focusing what the instructor is teaching you. Take a bottle of water with you, or you can buy some rescue remedy which I heard works pretty well. :)

I was fine taking my lessons even with anxiety, after 20-30mins of driving I felt incredibly relaxed.

It's always good to have a reassuring instructor too. :yesyes:
