How I Faced My Road Anxiety at 18 and What Helped Me

Hello, I’m 18 and living in the Midwest USA. Honestly, going 40 mph still makes me super nervous. I get shaky hands and my mind races, especially when I have to keep adjusting my speed or approach a red light. I usually just coast and brake gently, but the anxiety is real. What’s helped me is practicing deep breaths and reminding myself that everyone starts somewhere. I’m proud of how I handle parking lots now, and I know road confidence will come with time.
