Hi I am new and I was dignosed with a panic disorder last year, I have been taking meds and I had some therapy. I have made some progress like talking to new people and getting out and doing different things. But I still have a huge issue to get over and that is driving, I have my beginers but I have not been practising, everytime I start or even think about driving I get a panic attack. All my friends and family do not understand this and pressure me everyday to drive they think I am being silly. Which of course makes me feel worse about myself and get mad at myself for not even trying. Anyways I realy want to start, I am very scared but I need to drive because I live out in the country and my husband is at work all day and i have small kids. I need to get out and to be able to take them places, please help me with steps I can take to make this happen. Thank you(sorry this is so long)
