I know this sounds ridiculous, and I know I’ll probably be judged. But I never got my license and I’m 27. I’ve had terrible anxiety all of my life. I’m just now studying to get my permit/license. Anyone else like me been in a situation like this?

Question

I’m a mother of two, so it needs to be done. But because I’ve put it off for so long I’ve developed terrible anxiety to do it. Can anyone offer advice?

Answer

Take your time learning and build your confidence. When your test comes along, just make sure you go at your pace. If you try to run before you walk then you’ll just spend more recovering.

Answer

Im 34 and dont have a driving license

Answer

I’m 32 & still don’t have a license or even know how to drive. Haven’t tried to learn since I was 16, and even then, I only “practiced” like 3 times. I have a fear & anxiety about it.

Answer

I meant to vote yes, I'm 27 and eight months pregnant with my first. I signed up for driving classes this week and I drove for the first time. I was so nervous but I did it! I even drove home and I live in a busy city. I would suggest to get your permint and study. When you're ready sign up for a class. I go back next week for two more driving sessions. I'll keep you updated.

Answer

Thanks for posting. Similar boat in my thirties. Moving to an area where I will need to drive and planning on taking lessons when I get there. A relative who also learned to drive later in life said to think about it in little steps. First driving to the store (feeling anxious and pulling into a spot in a parking lot!) then a little further eventually the highway. You can do it! I hope to see everyone in this group checking in now and again with progress. I assume I’ll start taking lessons next month.

Answer

I'm 28 with a newborn and only have my permit, which I've had since I was 18 (kept renewing it).. I have no idea when I'll finally learn to drive.. I have pretty bad anxiety too and just can't bring myself to do it

Answer

I know a few people late 20s & 30s. No worries.

Answer

I didn't get me liscense until I was 23. I was extremely nervous and freaked out over driving for a while. I studied about a week for my permit, easy test. They had practice ones online. Them for my liscense when I felt ready we hired a private instructor. It really helped. I felt 100% more comfortable. He taught me what would be on the test, what to do on certain situations, and even took me on the high way which scared the day lights out of me. It wasn't overly expensive either so if that's an option, I'd look into it.

Answer

I'm 24, and I still don't have mine. It's alright dude.

Answer

I finally got mine after I was 21 because of horrible anxiety. I’m now 25, I have panic attacks if I’m not driving now. I just took it slow on back roads/dirt roads for a awhile, it took me a year to finally get my license after getting my permit
