I am still traumatized from an accident I was in nearly three years ago. It is affecting my will to want to learn how to drive. It feels like the more I'm in a car, the more difficult it looks. Being someone who can forget things easily, I fear forgetting something very crucial, resulting in an accident that could lead to me being in jail, or worse killed. My parents have given me advice numerous times now, but I'm too stubborn and frustrated to understand. I hate that. I want to believe them, I want to trust myself, but the thought of driving a car frightens me very much. They trust me more than I trust myself. This is affecting my sleep and day-to-day life.

​

I have never been this scared about anything. I am sick of it.

​

For anyone who drives, is it really that hard? How do you get over this sort of anxiety?
