How I Overcame 3.5 Years of Driving Anxiety—My Real Road Back

Hey guys. Kinda random to find this community after mostly beating my driving anxiety, but I wanted to share my journey in hopes it helps someone else. Just a few months ago, a single-lane mountain road would've sent me into a panic attack. Today, I handled 20 miles with only a few seconds of nerves before I centered myself and enjoyed the ride. What worked for me? Small steps, music that calms me, snacks on hand, and being kind to myself. I learned to listen to my body, slow down when my heart raced, and use Google Maps to preview tough routes. Most importantly, I stopped judging my progress and started celebrating every win, no matter how small. If you’ve battled driving anxiety, what’s helped you?
