Hi everyone,
Tomorrow I decided to face one of my biggest fears and go ahead and try to get my driver's license. I am currently 22 years old and have never gotten my license due to panicking every time I would just sit behind the steering wheel. A lot of bad things have gone on lately, but in a way it kinda elevated me to do more for myself. Lately I've been forcing myself to drive no matter how scared I am (with my permit of course...ha). So I decided to take it a step further and shoot for my license tomorrow morning. I am very scared to be honest, but I refuse to turn back. Hope the best for me friends, I'll let everyone know how it went when I return.
Peace & Love

Tomorrow anxiety can kiss my butt!

Hi Dustin,
Good luck on your driving test.
I hope you spend a lot of time listening to your relaxation tape and practice you breathing techniques as you prepare for your test, and prior to actually taking the test.
Keep telling yourself: I can do this, I can do all that I want to do. I want to do this. I want to enjoy the sense of freedom that driving a car can give me. I can do it! I will do this!!
Take care,
Gman

Well I didn't manage to get to sleep until 3AM because I was so nervous about taking the test. I forced myself to go but I must say sitting in the waiting room there I was tempted to convince my mom (that brought me) to just take us back home. I was freaking out pretty badly on the inside, but I forced myself through it. To be honest, there wasn't a thing I could think of to comfort me whatsoever, but I did it anyways.
The lady I took the test with, well to be quite blunt she was being what one what call the "b-word". I was already panicking as it was and at one point she told me to get in the left lane but being that I was already in non-reality mode I could hardly comprehend what she was saying. Then with an attitude she said, "This isn't the left lane now is it?". Right then and there I thought I was going to lose it. I came so close to screaming at her and just stepping out of the car and letting her take over. Somehow I maintained my state of "composure" and finished the test. After all the trouble and panicking I actually managed to pass the test. I did what I never thought I could have done in a million years.
I Dustin Boudreaux have conquered one of my biggest fears. I am proud of myself. :u]
Thanks, you guys are always so great!

Dustin good for you - you did it!
When I took my test, the lady who was also not very kind told me to go to the end of the driveway and turn XX. I got to the end and was nervous and couldn't remember which way she said to turn. She said "do your blinkers work?" I said "yes." She replies "well use them!"
This is just another step you are taking to freedom, we are all very proud of you!
