I’m in two minds whether to learn to drive or not. I want to do it but as with most things in my life anxiety is stopping me from going for it. I want to, and I really do but when I get anxious I can’t help but give in to it.
I’ll be 30 in 3 years and I’m starting to realise how much of life I’m missing out on. When my family go on holiday or in to town shopping, I always stay at home but I’ve always said I would go if I had my own car which I believe is true. I like cars, I’ve always had an interest in them and I love the idea of driving and the freedom that comes with it but I am anxious about it and worry I wouldn’t be able to do the theory tests and that I’d fail the driving test.
Anxiety always stops me.
Part of me wants to just go for it but I don’t know if I’m strong enough to do it. My family are always supportive and say to wait until I'm ready but time is going by, feels more fast than ever right now and I worry I'll leave it too late.
