Thank you so much everyone I've literally just come back from my driving lesson and it went so much better I was still scared but like it went fine I was a lot more relaxed about it so yeah thank you 🥰 X.
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!
@Animaniash Thank you so much 🥰. God bless.
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!
AHH tysm haha.
@Bex. You're welcome 😂
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 😅
Haha thank you so much that made me laugh I love that.
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.
Haha I like that ppft sounds like something I'd do out of relief.
while driving around other neighborhoods in my community i almost hit two parks cars because i was thinking about what i should have for lunch later also saw an old woman wearing a neck brace walking two chihuahuas :)
That would be something I would do haha. What did u end up having 😂😭🤦🏼♀️.
@Bex. i had a nature valley protein bar! not car hitting worthy but very good
Does anyone else suffer from panic sessions or severe anxiety where you feel you can’t breathe whilst driving alone? It’s been a year since I was hit with depression/anxiety and OCD and now I can’t go out or drive alone. My depression is more or less gone but my anxiety and OCD are quite high. How do I confront this fear of something bad happening to me whilst driving alone because I feel like I can’t breathe and that I’ll die.
Do you guys have difficulties getting your driving licence. I live in The Netherlands and The Roads office here is impossibly strict. I failed my driving exam for the second time today. I get too much information at once on the road and then I don't know what to do. I know how to control the car and all but they say that I'm extremely stresst and tight in my vibe when driving. I see the information but it processes differently and too late. For example my instructor says, turn left on the next crossing. Eventually I see a sign with a cross meaning dangerous crossing. I was busy with that but I didn't make the connection that fast about it being a crossing and turning left.
I always worry I’ve accidentally cut someone off in traffic and caused a major accident that I didn’t see. I always feel like I’m on the verge of being arrested at any moment for having unwittingly harmed someone. Sometimes I’ll turn around, others I’ll look online for traffic accident reports. Other times it just won’t get out of my head, and I just try to remember every detail to quell the anxiety. Sometimes I worry it’s not OCD, it’s paranoia…budding psychosis. If you feel safe/comfy, would you share your similar experiences?
