Does the anxiety ever lessen?
I got my license at 19 (in the Netherlands) and have always been scared of driving. After I got my license I've been avoiding getting back behind the wheel. I'm now 33 and only recently started with driving again. Started with a small circle on a parking lot, then driving on some back roads and then in my own neighborhood. Yesterday I took a driving lesson again. The first few times I just cried so much and that is getting better now, but the overwhelming anxiety before driving just remains and is not letting up. Does it ever get better..?
It takes so much for me to even get behind the wheel and it is so discouraging that I don't feel any confidence boost. I'm still proud that after 14 years I finally started again, but I can't keep doing this if it does not get easier. It adds sooo much stress to my life.
