Hey guys! So I had one semi recent incident where I thought I was going to faint because I hadn't eaten for a while (crazy day at work).

If you use driving as your goal, then start with reverse, connect something to that, then park, connect something to that, then low, medium, high, slow, fast, turn, wait, and continue on through the different motions until you find the pattern that unlocks the neutral switch.
Life happens. We are naturally going to experience anxiety in responding to information coming in from every situation we move through. You are much stronger than you realize.
Best wishes.
