How I’m Fighting Back Against Driving Anxiety—One Mile at a Time

I’m a 32-year-old guy, and honestly, I’m exhausted from letting driving anxiety rule my life. I got my license a year ago, but moving to a new city just made things tougher. Every drive feels like a potential panic attack—especially with chaotic traffic and unpredictable situations. Lately, I’ve started exposure therapy, like taking longer drives on quieter roads. It’s tough being alone on unfamiliar streets, but every small win counts. Parking garages still freak me out, but I’m trying not to let fear make my choices for me. Anyone else dealing with this?

I hit the punching bag, and for the first time in ages, I felt alive. My mantra became: "This body is weak... but I am stronger!" I'm done torturing myself. It's time to live.

One Year Without a Bad Mental Health Episode—Today Is My Day!

Two months ago, I shared my hope to reach a year without a bad mental health episode—and today, I made it! 🎉 Looking back, I was in a dark place: lonely, unemployed, and unsure of my future. But I took small steps—therapy, new meds, and self-help groups. I found a job, new friends, and even started a relationship. To celebrate, I made myself a dulce de leche cake—my own version of "one day everything will be okay." I still have goals to work on, but today, I’m grateful. If you have tips for shaking off winter hibernation, I’d love to hear them!

The only thing that truly helped was reaching out to someone who had been through it too. Hearing their story, feeling understood, and realizing I wasn’t alone gave me a spark of hope. Sometimes, just one genuine connection can make all the difference. What helped you when nothing else seemed to work?

I’m almost 33, and right now, I’m deep in a major depression. Despite that, I’m one week sober after months of heavy drinking that messed up my liver.
