Driving anxiety & being a mom

Being a mom and having driving anxiety sucks. I hate having to depend on others to get me to and from places. Sometimes, I feel like a burden and I’m not looking for anyone to feel sad for me. I’m about to start practicing again to fight my fears just so I could feel like I have control over my life again and gain independence. Not being able to drive has taken a toll on me and I’m ready to fight back 🖤💪🏽

I feel exactly the same way I don’t drive and I have a toddler and baby and yes I feel so bad that my partners has to take me everywhere I go walking with the babies in the stroller if it’s close enough but it’s not always convenient I just have such a fear of driving and major anxiety once I get behind the wheel I forget what to do. I also need to get it together ans get my license already as well that’ll be a goal of mine to have it this year definitely in the next month or two!
