Overcoming Highway Merging Anxiety: My Real Struggle

I recently got my license on my second try after years of anxiety, but merging onto highways—especially with road work—still makes my heart race. Last night, I had to drive home alone after dropping off my boyfriend and his colleagues. The merging lane was tight, cars were everywhere, and I panicked. I almost clipped the guard rail and missed my blind spot. If you struggle with merging too, practice in quieter areas first, and remember: it's okay to ask for help or take a break.
