I understand your feelings, and I think many people can relate to this. Driving really can feel overwhelming and scary… I’m going through something similar myself. What helped me were some words someone once told me.
Driving may seem frightening and unsafe because there are so many possible dangers. But if you think about it, there’s always some kind of risk no matter what you do. Even when you’re eating, there’s no guarantee you won’t choke.Even when you’re simply walking, something could happen at any moment. Life itself is a risk. And often, we have to take those risks in order to live it to the fullest.
It’s difficult at first, but step by step it becomes easier and lighter. It also helps if you replace those thoughts with more positive alternatives, or if you focus on the present moment. For example, grounding techniques can be very useful.
So what about ur driving now?
@Azrul93 I don’t drive myself yet, but I’ve found this really helped me reduce my anxiety during rides as a passenger.
How long u hv been through?
What grounding techniques do you use?
