Hi i’m new here i thought id joint since my driving anxiety is literally ruining my life. I just want some advice on how to deal with this because it often feels like a huge burden to me but I absolutely hate driving at night which is inevitable with my job but i especially hate driving on weekend nights since i know there’s more of a chance of drunk drivers out . I stopped going out on weekends because of my fear of my life being taken by some careless human being. And it often stresses me out and makes life feel debilitating. I hate the anxiety i get when im working late and have to drive home, mostly because you could do everything right, stay sober, buckle up, drive cautious etc and still be the result of someone else’s careless actions the fact that its so out of our control is what gives me most anxiety. It’s been making me sick to my stomach especially today since i got rear ended in broad daylight today it happened so quickly and it reminded me that these things happen so fast. So now i have even more anxiety and i need help or some reassuring words
