Facing My Driving Anxiety at 19: You're Not Alone

Learning to drive has been a real struggle for me. I got my learner’s permit at 15, but every time I get behind the wheel, anxiety takes over. Sometimes I even feel sick or zone out from the stress. My parents want me to catch up with my peers, but their pressure only makes it harder. What’s helped me is practicing deep breathing before driving and taking short, low-pressure drives by myself in safe areas. Remember, everyone learns at their own pace.
