hi everyone! i'm steve and i've been dealing with driving anxiety for almost 2 years now. when it first happened i was able to shrug it off and that was it. then a few weeks later it started again and again. each time it felt even worse than the last. it got to the point last year that i had to go to the doctors because i thought something was physically wrong. after getting a bunch of tests done they couldn't find anything. i was lost and spent a year trying to figure it out.
it started hindering my life in general. i couldn't drive over 40mph no matter what. plus i was having a hard time going up and down hills. i would still drive them in desperate situations but was still having the "episodes" in the process. i tried finding every alternative way i could, but sometimes it still didn't work.
i just got the program a week ago. i've started using some the the techniques and have made some small steps in the right direction. i know that its gonna be a long road ahead of me with tons of work. i realized i don't wanna live with this fear anymore. its a comforting thought to know i'm not alone and that there are people who understand. best of luck to everyone!
