Don't worry driving will get a lot easier as you keep doing it! K was terrified of driving before I got my license recently but now I can drive no problem! It's just the big roads and stuff that still scare me but everything else is pretty good!

I had spent so long preparing my parallel parking skills. On drivers test attempt one, I pulled up and backed into the spot perfectly. But then it was time to parallel park 🤣 I came in at the complete wrong angle, and FAST too. It was just a mess I hit so many cones and I saw my dad shaking his head in shame behind me 😂 Attempt number two (no idea why she let me on the road after this LOL) I came in from a slightly better angle, but I backed straight up into a whole line of cones. I ended up passing my road test and got my license after that somehow 😂. So it can be done!

There were A bunch of pigeons driving in the road and they were walking so slow so I just drove right over them but they moved just in time 😂 Another was I was approaching a flashing yellow arrow with my dad in the car and the light was yellow, about to turn red. I gassed it and almost made it but ran the red. My dad yelled at me so hard and I cried but I guess it was funny 😅 I also went through a drive through and got Wendy's for my family and I turned at the same intersection I ran a red on and turned so sharply the food almost knocked over. My dad yelled at me again and I cried again but it was fine 😅

I was having my driving test and I was so relieved that I'd made it down the road, when I came to a stop sign, I just sat there. I remember the feeling of 'ok, I made it' as if I was done. The guy had to tell me to go forward.

2 days ago I decided that I will do my bloodtest, last time i was in 2017 and for some reason when i stood up I started to feel dizzy and I couldnt see anything, I didnt fainted but i was close to it,the nurses quickly layed me down, and then i was fine, but the whole day my body was shaking. I was afraid of blood test, and i always avoided it, but my health anxiety got worse cause i was afraid everytime that i have cancer but i cant check it cause im afraid of bloodtests. This year i had to do other medical tests and now they asked me to do bloodtest too, and 2 days ago i said okay this week i will face this fear. And i felt excitet, motivated and happy that finally i will face my fear. I did not cared if i faint cause it might not happen but if does I can handle it, i will feel good after i wake up. But someone after some hours, the fears came up, and i wanted to face them (cause people say you need to challenge the thoughts) so i tried to challenge them and find ways that i will handle those scenarios, but after time i got stressed cause i didnt know how to respond. If i faint and then vomit and feel sick and vomit alot of times cause im also panicking to the point they have to take me to the hospital... this jist scared me. I dont know how to handle that panic. The body will react to the blooddrown so either way i will feel bad. And im afraid of it and I cant deal with that fear.I dont know what to do if i will feel sick the whole day, if i will vomit the whole day and faint because of stress. This might be catastrophising but now these thoughts comes up, if i imagine myself being there and getting my blood drawned, i imediatelly feel the panic and these scenarios come up and then i dont know what to do so i just panic... Last night i asked help from others and it helped that some said that its pretty rare that you will vomit after blooddrawn, people who do are sick already or they are really scared. And this made me feel good but then i read about it and i found out that its pretty common that people faint, or vomit or fo both after blooddrawn... and now im just thinking about not going... i cant deal with it cause idk what to do. Breathing techniques didnt worked for me, if im panicking and i try to relax by breathing, i get more stressed cause my brain knows i do it to calm down and the panic is a danger so i get more panic... idk what to do.

I’ve avoided driving majority of my teen years because I got into a head on collision when I was 17. Even before then, I was absolutely terrified of driving. Saying I was terrified is an understatement. I’d literally shake at the thought of anything to do with cars and imagine my body scrunching up with the car metal after getting into an accident. OCD would convince me that I simply cannot trust myself behind the wheel, and that something bad will happen - like I’ll kill my self, someone else, or an animal and I hated it. Needless to say, I genuinley could not bring myself to get started with driving until I was 19, which was a few months ago lol. I got my permit at 17, practiced driving a tiny bit then stopped after the accident I got into. I eventually got the permit renewed a few months ago at 19, then I finally got my license a month after. Now I’m 20, and today I drove myself 45 mins to and from work! I still need to practice more, but holy lord I never thought this day would come. All the years I’d feel embarassed/judge myself have come to an end. Just because I was delayed at doing something doesn’t mean I’m not capable. For anyone who has goals they want to reach and they feel like they’re impossible - they’re not. Fight OCD as best as you can. I hope I can be a symbol of hope for anyone whose struggling
