Driving

Jul 26, 2010 22:23

I am not a driver. I don't like it. Getting behind the wheel of a car causes
my chest to tighten, my palms to sweat and I have a strong desire to wrap
the car around a tree so that I don't have to be bothered by it ever again.
If I happen to end up hospitalized then my sisters are sure to get off my
back.

I've owned two cars in my life. The last one I paid for in cash. I WANTED to
drive. I WANTED to be able to pick up and go when and where I wanted, until
I nearly had a heart attack behind the wheel.

I do realize it is unreasonable, this fear and its creeping into other areas
of my life. I haven't been on a plane in years and the last time I tried,
sheer panic. I'm disgusted by it, but therapy cost money and all of my
pennies (and I do mean PENNIES!) are going to keep my head above water right
now.

I hope to get over this soon or at least start working on it. That would
require employment, though, so, eh. :/
