I have been slowly trying to get back to driving since I fell into my anxiety spiral a little over a year ago. I try to drive everyday. I stay pretty close to home when I drive alone, no more than like 10 minutes away. I can go a lot further when I’m with my husband. Usually up to like 30 minutes. I haven’t been on a free way though in at least over 6 months but today I decided to give it a shot on one that I used to drive everyday. Since I was extremely familiar with it I thought it would be a good place to start getting back on the horse. I had my husband in the car with me (he took the photo I shared) I kept telling myself just drive to the next exit and see how you feel, you can always get off if you need too. I was extremely anxious and on the edge of a full blown panic attack but I still did it. I drove the entire 45 minutes home on the freeway !! Like what!??? I’m honestly shocked because I was so scared and even chicken out the last time I tried. Guys we can do this !! :)
