How I’m Facing My Fear of Driving Fast

I’m 24 and still don’t have my license. The past five years have been rough, but what really holds me back is how anxious I get behind the wheel—especially when the speedometer creeps past 50 mph. My heart races, and highways feel totally off-limits. My anxiety meds barely help, so I know I’m not alone in this struggle. Lately, I’ve started practicing in empty parking lots and quiet streets, just to get used to being in control. Small steps, like driving with a trusted friend and setting my own pace, help me feel a little braver each time. If you’ve been through this, how did you cope?
