Hey guys,
Just wanted to get some encouragement as tomorrow I am destined to do a drive that is WAY out of my comfort zone. Ever since I got my licence, I have had driving anxiety. I lived in a small highway town and had to drive 100kms/hr everywhere I went, so I just had to get in the car and brave my fears. I did get better and managed to do the 30km trip to and from work every day on the highway, so that was cool. Then 2 years ago, we moved interstate and now hubby and I work from home, so I only have to drive locally. We are purchasing another car and we have to pick it up tomorrow and it is over 45 mins away with some roads being really wide and having 3 lanes of traffic each way! I am so nervous about it, and hoping that I do not have a panic attack while driving :weep:
I hate that I do this, cause I would love to be able to just drive a car on any road like everyone else, but for me its different.
Any support would be most welcome!
