Hello everyone!
I'm a massive massive panic/worrier at the best of times.. so finding this website is really amazing, finally people who will understand how it feels to be a worrier and not just say "stop worrying, you're being silly"
Anyways, that's enough of that..
I passed my driving test a week ago and got a car a few days after, but out of nowhere these masses and masses of nerves started. I really didn't expect them, I'm terrified of parking and not being able to do it. I just can't seem to get my head around it.
Where I work has a car park, however it's very very small and does not have any floor markings, and you have to get in very early to secure a spot that means you won't be getting called every 5 minutes, which isn't a problem but I got to it this morning and felt so nervous that I just couldn't do it. So I took a chance and parked in a car park not too far from work (it's not meant for us though, but I could get parked there.. so I did it)
I'm working myself up into a right frenzy over it, it's soooo silly :/
I can't think about anything else :S I just can't face waiting for a bus that never comes any more, and the whole reason I started lessons was to finally say bye-bye to the bus journeys, and now.. I'm at risk of returning to London Transport because of my ridiculous fear.
I didn't expect to feel this nervous about being a new driver.. at all.
any advice, is much much welcome.
Thank you, and I look forward to speaking with like-worry-minded people :)
