Hello

[kricky422]

My name is Krista. I am 31 and I have never gotten my license. I began having anxiety and panic attacks when I was 12 and for some reason driving became a major phobia for me. My fiance has been urging me to get my license for years and now I need to cause I have a 6 month old. But now that I have my baby, I am even more worried about driving. I am worried I will get into an accident and something bad will happen. Many times when I am in vehicles, I need to close my eyes cause I am just not comfortable in cars. It is very frustrating. And what makes it even more frustrating is that nobody seems to understand. But for my daughters sake, I need to get my license. So stressed!

Hi Krista,
I just wanted to pop in and say:
1.) Welcome! :)

2.) You are not alone. I suspect that nearly everyone here is going through this or has gone through this on some level.

3.) I truly believe that with persistant dedication and the right help, taking things one small step at a time, we can work through this and meet our driving goals.
