I was in at least three car crashes in my youth, one of which was serious, but I knew I had to get back behind the wheel, because otherwise I would have had to stop going to college classes, and give up my job at a local radio station. I've had depression, and anxiety since I was maybe eleven, but honestly I've probably never feared death to tell you the truth. I do fear being maimed though, cause I'm only half as crazy as I might seem.
I do remember that they used to make us watch old films with car accidents in em when I was in Driver's Education classes. People would get a little shocked, and scared, but it wouldn't stop anyone from wanting to learn to drive.
Are you recieving any type of therapy? Nothing personal, and no offense, but your obsession seems rather excessive.
I did have a therapist a few years ago but sadly she moved. I’m scared of taking a driver’s ed class because they might tell more horror stories (I’m hoping I can find one that specializes in people like me). It’s hard for me to do what one commenter described, keeping the possibilities of accidents in my mind because thinking about them really sets me off. You all make good points, but this is all easier said than done. I just hate how my school seemed to assume that not a single student knew of the dangers and that it had to be hammered in at all cost. Eventually I just wanted to scream “OK I FUCKING GET IT!” At them!
IIN I feel very behind?
