Worry.

I'm overwhelmed with the thought of needing a car and getting things together on time for the winter semester of college.

 

Like I've mentioned before, I have driving anxiety. The thought of practicing gets me nervous. I can't even begin to think of taking another road test. My first failure was miserable. I haven't driven since, which was sometime in March before the 20th.

 

I'm terrified. I feel like I won't just drive badly, but I'll fail again due to basically having a panic attack. It was like I had forgotten how to do everything once there was a professional watching me. I couldn't even turn on the radio while driving.

 

School.

The only part that worries me is getting everything around and actually going. I know after the first week I'll be comfortable enough. It's the paper work, scheduling and getting what I need (including loans) on time.

 

I haven't addressed my worries til today. Maybe I use eating as a distraction from my worries and anxieties.

    I failed my road test the first time too. I also have anxiety in driving basically because my eyes are bad though. You might want to look into some relaxation techniques online to calm yourself or at least give it a try. It may or may not work for you. ((((HUGS)))) and Best wishes.

    I almost failed my drivers test the first time. I couldn't parallel park and ran over one of the cones. I think the instructor passed me because I pratically crying because I was so nervous.
