I got stuck in a space in a supermarket car park and had a panic attack. This made me lose confidence and I used my car less and less. I hung on to it but at the last MOT had only done about 2000 miles, so I agreed to sell it. In many ways it was a relief, and the understanding was that we’d buy me another if I felt I wanted/needed one.
That time came last year, for various reasons, and I enjoyed driving the car for a few months. Gradually the excitement of having it, and driving, has worn off.
I did consider a refresher course but didn’t/don’t think that would really help with the anxiety. I’m a competent driver, know what to do, know the rules, it’s just this very anxious feeling I get when I know I’m going to be driving.
Thank you all for your suggestions, I really do appreciate them, I think it’s something I’m just going to have to work through…and be brave! :)
