Drove today...

[Tobias Johnson]

So, for the first time in a year I drove by myself. This is a major accomplishment for me. I suffered moderate anxiety but made it to my destination and back!

Congrats! I'm at the point where I don't want to drive because of anxiety and panic attacks. It's only been a month so I'm hoping I will gain the courage like you soon. You will be able to keep doing it,since you just did it and nothing bad happened.

Well done Tobias. That's amazing!!!
I suffer from some level of driving anxiety too and the only way out of it is to push through it.

I was so bad that I couldn't even go in a car as a passenger!! It took me a good 3 months to get to a semi normal state, but I still get some anxiety driving and try to push through when it happens. If it gets to the point where it is dangerous for me to drive, I pull over and do some breathing and sip water until I feel a bit better.
