Learning to Drive

Pandoren

I'm learning to drive at the moment because it's something I need to do, especially to work (I live in the country) but I am absolutely hating it... I get such bad anxiety about starting the lesson, hours or even the day before it's due... makes me want to go and hide instead of doing it (and fyi, things like "you'll have so much freedom once it is done!" have been said ad nauseam). I've just booked my theory test as well...

:(

  • Have you made your needs known to the instructor? Avoiding small talk and/or personal inquiry, speaking unambiguously and presenting information in a fashion you are comfortable with etc. If the above has been discussed without benefit, would you be more comfortable with another instructor?

    keep at it, driving is by far the most comfortable way to travel and infinitely preferably to public transport if one has issues of anxiety.
