I really like this forum. I have come and read alot of posts but have never posted anything myself. So now I am asking for your prayers. I am 35 yo mother of 2 boys and a registered nurse. Within the last 3 months all of this stuff with depression and anxiety and I lost my job because of it too. Now i am afraid to drive away from my home. I feel like i am trapped in my own house and i dont know what to do. I have got to start driving again and quickly because I have got to get back to work soon. Please pray for me. I have had this fear of driving before but it went away but this time it seems to be staying.

Prayers headed your way! I am 34 years old and have two daughters - age 2 and age 4. I can relate to what you are going thru. I'm dealing with the driving thing myself - i posted on the fear of driving forum. I know that we will overcome this together.

I will pray for you, it must be tough not wantied to drive because of fear. If you fought it once you can do it again, maybe try going through your program again and listen to some old tapes. Remember you are the key!

tracy I will pray for you that your skills sink in quickly so that you can get back to your routine. Sometimes it doesnt always work on our Master Plan dont let that discourage you. Putting pressure on yourself isnt going to maki it any easier on you to grow past this point.

You can do this perhaps you could see if you could get a job at a hospital since your a nurse and get on a carpool so that you dont have to drive just yet? Or perhaps you could explain your situation to your previous employer as long as your work while you were at work was done well tell the truth tell him that you are having some issues with driving and could I get on ride program? Sometimes when we are honest to key people in our lives we can find the breathing room we need to work our skills and get better quicker.

These are my suggestions. Hang in there.

Do you have Carolyn Dickman's driving CD? It's a great help. If you don't call StressCenter.com to get it and start driving girl!! I did.
