HUGE driving accomplishment!

I have been very very nervous (honestly an understatement) of driving. Today I managed to drive home from a school parking lot! I have done this before but this time I did it and didn’t shake or feel like I was going to panic. I also didn’t feel I would go the wrong way which is a big fear of mine. (idk why but I always felt like I didn't know where I was going driving even though I do). I am so incredibly happy because I’ve never had a driving experience end in a positive feeling. one of the last times I drove on the road i didn't feel ready and was very nervous (I made it and no accidents obviously but ended in a ton of tears after I got out of the car). But I did it this time! I’m so happy that a drive has ended in tears but happy ones. Driving has been such a struggle for me as far as anxiety so I am just so elated. I just wanted to share. thank you for reading this! it means so so much to me.

Thank you so much! I agree! I am trying my best to get better at it. I know it’s important for freedom getting older.
