How do I remove my fear of driving? (EXTREME ANXIETY when behind the wheel)

[moggedmyex]

I passed all my driving exams first try and got my license about a year and a half ago.


The problem is, I haven’t driven since. Every time I sit behind the wheel, I get this extreme anxiety, my hands literally shake and I feel like I’ll lose control of the car. Sometimes I even dream about crashing or losing control while driving.


I drive good, but in my mind i have a destroyed self image and i dont have any confidence that i can overcome this and it led to heavy depression.


Has anyone here dealt with this kind of fear? What helped you overcome it — exposure, therapy, drugs?


I don’t want cope answers like “just drive bro”, I’m looking for real psychological or practical advice to desensitize myself and regain confidence behind the wheel.

I cant live like a fucking loser, i have decent looks and want to capitalize on driving a car, but without a car my friends lost respect of me and ppl dont take me serious and think less of me and i fucking hate it.

no sleep = no growth hormone. Sleep like a baby bhai.
