Facing Driving Anxiety at 23: My Struggle and Hope for Change

I’m 23 and still can’t drive. My first experience with driver’s ed at 17 was so traumatic—my instructor didn’t understand anxiety and just yelled at me. Since then, I’ve avoided driving altogether. Now, living in a city without public transit, my fear is holding me back from jobs and straining my relationship. I’m terrified of crashing and making things worse for my family. The thought of driving makes me sick, but I know I can’t avoid it forever. Has anyone else overcome this kind of fear? I’d love to hear your tips or stories.
