That's awesome dude! I hope you're doing good. I just got my license at 26 and I've dealt with panic disorder for 12 years. We got this! So proud of you :)
I'm ashamed I'm passed that Still don't have mine. I has a literal fear of driving I took one one hour lesson. To discover it was fun as easier than I remembered as a teen.
how are you making out? i got my car 2 months ago and have anxiety when driving, i avoid busy routes and it’s really taking a toll… hoping it gets better!
@@jonathandoe2316same here and you guys are not only the one with fear of driving... I've been learning to drive since last 2 months and still not able to drive perfectly i cleared my licence test and have bought one new manual car been practicing with new car for about a week now and still not able to go on with the right process.. everytime i take the wheel i always goof in most of the things only coz of this panic attacks.. my instructor has been getting mad on me for not cooperating properly.. every single time i always repeat with same mistakes such as not driving on one side of corner which is left.. fail to look in mirror.. even clutch and brake as well.. i just don't understand one thing about me is that why is it taking me so long just to learn driving a car.. everyday i practice for about one hour and I'm still not able to grasp the concepts properly.. for the rest of the things it never took me so long in learning like for example about swimming.. just only in 5 days I was able to dive and even go underwater that much quick learning.. but about driving it's literally different I've been repeatedly making same mistakes again and again but still not able to clear out.. and this fear is causing lot of troubles
You literally are one of my biggest inspirations right now while im learning to drive. Im 19 and I’ve been putting off getting a license for years now because of my anxiety
this will be me soon, im 21 and haven’t got my license yet but i’ll be going to the dmv soon, i want to go to a nail school that is over an hour away and is in a bigger city 😰 i’m absolutely terrified of how it will be, but i’m ready to take control of my life for the better !!
You’re an inspiration. I’m 23 and passed my permit 2x and have over 20+ h lessons but didn’t pass my first test because I panicked. Gonna rewatch this to get myself moving
My anxiety often causes me to make mistakes while driving. I've just recently gotten better at not making mistakes, as well as staying calm and collected. Good job!!
Yes I'm going to do it. Gotta face it. No longer will I be afraid. I have been scared to drive for a while now. I don't want this to take over my life.
I'm 33, passed my test 2 months ago, yet still did not have the courage to drive unsupervised (unfortunately, I have to use my partner's car because I cannot afford my own atm). I honestly feel like I'm more scared and panicky now when I'm fully licensed driver 😢
@Jonathan Doe driving was my biggest fear and still kinda is, to be honest 😅 so, I absolutely understand. Take as much time as you need and be kind to yourself. Best of luck with your learning 👍
34 here and i feel this. Thought id be all good after getting my license but now i feel way more vulnerable & anxious 😂🤦🏽♀️i went for my first drive with my partner today a month after getting my license and made some dumb mistakes and 1 terrible park. That knocked my confidence a bit but just need to keep practising and work on my reaction times for things like round abouts.. can't wait to be over this hurdle.
I had to drive to Urgent care a week ago and it was a 9 minute drive turning on a busy road briefly. I got in my brother's car and started driving there. I pulled off the road once or twice cause I was so nervous but I made it there and was SOOOOOO proud of myself because that was the furthest I'd driven myself alone in nearly 2 years. Driving home was even easier. Last November I was housebound and now I'm out again slowly but surely driving again and doing more to gain my independence back. Thank you for the videos. They are encouraging SOOOOO many others to get their lives back from panic disorder, agoraphobia and anxiety. I'm proud of you too for getting back on the road because trust me I know it's not easy!
Hi I hope your are doing great my problem is this so basically I'm 19 I started driving when I was 16 I drove local for a whole year not too much traffic I knew all the roads and at the time i used to fear cars around me when ever I used to see car from the side mirrors I used to start panicking same goes for the left and right lane if cars were there and then when I got used to that I got an accident broke my cars bumper that all Happend when I was 17 and it's been two years and now fear cars around me more then ever and scared of even driving cars and when I see traffic when ever I'm with my father when he drives I always go like I will never drive ever but it really important to learn how to drive so need a bit of help THANKS.
I just feel amzing seeing how there was no expression of fear on your face .. my heart races when i walk even one block ahead of my apartment... I dont have the courage to walk further, my knees weaken .. but somehow my heart races so much that i start running back home wards... I still have a long way before i reach your level and challenge myself further...
Is touching your head a reaction to the anxiety? Because I do that too. Also I went to the store for the first time in years yesterday. It wasnt bad but there was a lot of nervous energy
I know this is old but I'm about to start driving again, I have a phobia of driving but I am ready. Can you guys wish me luck & tell me I'm overthinking it 😢
I’m 19 and I passed my test over a year ago and I still don’t feel comfortable driving anywhere but the Wawa by my house by myself:( I literally am crying over it right now because I just wanna be independent so I can go shop by myself and get places by myself but my parents give me so much pressure and I’m only now starting to realise how hard it is for me to do it
Omg. Me too. I cry about my driving anxiety even when I'm not driving. I think about what I might wanna do on the weekend, realise I gotta drive, then I just bust into tears thinking about how pafetic my anxiety is and how I have absolutely no reason to be so nervous. It's so dibilatating. I have breakdown when someone makes even the slightest hint about picking them up/dropping them off. It happens allot as I'm the only sibling that drives.
Just watching this videos makes me break down sometimes because it reminds me of how anxious I am and how I wanna be independent but nobody gets it. I feel u ❤️❤️
I served in the Army and have PTSD & panic attacks if I drive alone. Very hard on my wife and I can’t go anywhere alone. I served 17 years, discharged in 2005. Went years being okay then in 2016 the attacks started.
I’m 22 and still never drove much. I just bought a car in hopes it would convince me to drive after just seeing it parked. I have to pick up my boy for work today since our normal ride can’t get us and my heart is racing. Idk why I’m so nervous when it comes to driving. I just feel like messing up would be extra embarrassing considering I’m 22 and still can’t drive much
I’m a new comer in australia and used to drive back home, i’m taking driving lessons here but i have no idea why i’m so panicking every session, please give me your edviae😢i’m so desperate 😞😞😞

You got this bud. Im 20 and its hell trying to learn to drive. The stress of it really is strong but we got this 💪
@@goldenape2490 I’m going on 20 and I’m just now learning to drive but we definitely got this ❤
I feel relief once I get to my destination. But I done dissociated the entire way 😂
My anxiety often causes me to make mistakes while driving. I've just recently gotten better at not making mistakes, as well as staying calm and collected. Good job!!
Yes I'm going to do it. Gotta face it. No longer will I be afraid. I have been scared to drive for a while now. I don't want this to take over my life.
You are a hero! I’m so afraid to learn to drive. I close my eyes in Ubers when they go on the highway . I’m ready to face my fear in 2024.
You got this! If nobody ever told you… I will! YOU CAN DO IT. The finish line is right around the corner!

I'm literally in the same position just took my first lesson yesterday. After years of fear from my teen years. And it was easy and fun.

It's been sat outside for a month I just can't do it. Yet.
Is touching your head a reaction to the anxiety? Because I do that too. Also I went to the store for the first time in years yesterday. It wasnt bad but there was a lot of nervous energy
My biggest fear is with long distance driving especially at night. It’s horrible I can’t bring myself to do it anymore, I used to love it
I‘m proud of you! 👍👍
Well done mate !
Thank you, you're helping me so much.
I know this is old but I'm about to start driving again, I have a phobia of driving but I am ready. Can you guys wish me luck & tell me I'm overthinking it 😢
You'll do great! Enjoy it!

Good Job 👍
