I'm 26 with 2 kids and cant drive.
I have taken a test 4 times and failed. The last time I had a massive panic attack and had to stop. I was diagnosed with anxiety after having my first daughter but I have have been an anxious person my whole life.
Each reason why I failed is such a long story. Basically the first 3 I only had about 3-4 minors and 1 major. Every time it's just more and more money. I stopped after I had my first daughter, then tried again just before lockdown when I failed again. Then had my daughter in October 2020 and haven't even thought about it since.
It definitely impacts my life I would love more freedom. The thought of it fills me with literal dread to the point of feeling sick. We now have some money I could use to go towards it. I just cringe at wasting it and failing again. Everyone around me says theres no pressure but they are the ones that keep mentioning it.
I'm getting worked up writing this. I know I'm being stupid! I cant shake this feeling of dread. I hate the thought of driving on my own. I'm dyslexic and dyspraxic and I feel like I will mess up and get in a accident. My mind wonders constantly. I dont think I can concentrate well.
I know it's a life skill I need. But I've left it too long and now I have such an issue around it. I dont WANT to do it but I know I NEED too.
