Driving can be a source of freedom and independence, but for many, it’s also a significant source of anxiety. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, fearful, or even panicked at the thought of getting behind the wheel, you’re not alone. Driving anxiety is a common issue, especially among young adults, but with the right support, it’s something you can overcome.
Driving anxiety can manifest in many ways, from a general sense of unease while driving to full-blown panic attacks at the thought of being on the road. This anxiety can be triggered by various factors, such as fear of accidents, traffic, or driving in unfamiliar areas. Over time, this fear can lead to avoidance behaviors, where you might start limiting where and when you drive—or stop driving altogether.
