It’s me! The girl with severe driving anxiety!

I dont know if you guys remember me from a couple

Months back, but I posted about how I’m a single mom now. Left a toxic relationship where I depended on my ex for everything. Including driving me everywhere.

Now that I have my son, I need to drive him places and it inspired me to tackle my severe driving anxiety and fear of driving.

I actually always had a license and a car and did drive a little in my younger years. But as time went on, something always stopped me from driving. And alot of it had to do with what was instilled in me that “women suck at driving so dont even bother” etc. “You’re supposed to depend on me, im the man”

I finally got the courage a few months ago to get behind the wheel and started slow. Now I’m driving everywhere and taking my son places!!:)

Dont get me wrong. I cried behind the wheel alot. Gave myself pep talks. Lots of shaking.

But I made it through and its becoming natural again (again as in I drove before my severe anxiety kicked in and the skills are coming back). Im still not perfect. Still cant properly reverse park or parralel park lol. As well as still sooo afraid of the highways.

Switching lanes is still a bit scary.

But we’re practicing. Getting there.

I’m just sooo proud of myself and wanted to share this to hopefully inspire someone :) my son was my inspiration. And hes helped me grow so much❤️
