Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety Support Group
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to their home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."
I am having some serious issues learning how to drive. I live in a big city.... and I keep getting stressed about not knowing how because the field of work I am in expects you to have a license...
I am going for lessons and I haven't driven in a few months due to an injury. How do I drive without feeling overwhelmed?

I suppose first stop feeling overwhelmed about feeling overwhelmed. Co-incidentally, I'm also taking lessons. Its a bit unnerving sometimes when muscle memory hasn't set in and you have to think about everything while simultaneously trying not smash anything. But that's what the instructor is for also. Just give it time, eventually the muscle memory sets in and you will be able to relax. Its a direct function of time behind the wheel. If you can get yourself to relax even more it will happen a little quicker but even so, you can learn it under tension also. You're fine!
