Stressed out driving in the car

I get so anxious when I’m driving or when my elderly father is driving.
It’s gotten to the point where I’m thinking of not driving anymore and not renewing my drivers license this fall.
My fear is getting into a major accident!

Anyone else not drive especially because of anxiety?

The responsibility is too much for me!

I don’t drive anymore. I was lucky enough not to get into an accident while I was driving.

If you don’t mind me asking @everhopeful.
What was the reason for you not driving?

I don’t have the concentration. After about 5 minutes I’d just start daydreaming. But because I haven’t done it for years the thought of it terrifies me now.

If you stop driving, you should still renew your license. It’s good to have for emergencies and it’s a hell of a lot harder to get it back than it is to regularly renew it.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
Maybe I’ll renew my license for emergencies.

Even if you don’t drive, a drivers license is good for identification for many things.

I hate driving too but have to in order to help my epileptic husband. Get anxiety and dissociation.

I made a post about this recently. I don’t drive. I don’t think I’ll drive for a long time. I just can’t.
