Not totaly sure this is a phobia as such but it is a fear that is holding me back. I hate driving. I constantly feel scared to death and in a state. Didnt pass my test untill 3 months ago at the age of 30, and learning was just awfull, i used to feel sick and shaky before each lesson. Im to scared to go anywhere that isnt a totaly straight forward route, ie no ring roads, or changing lanes. I was put on cipramil to help with my anxiety but made my driving awfull, i was having massive panic attacks, something ive not had since i was 16, ive now switched to seroxat and seem a little better on these.

It feels easier just to stop in sometimes, but i cant as i have a child who needs to go out and have a normal life.

Have any of you had anything similar at all, or any advice?
