I am starting to become deathly afraid of driving. I've had my permit lapse twice before but being on the road more is making me nervous

Even sitting at my apartment, with no car (as I don't need one at college) I still picture the mistakes I made from days or weeks ago

This definitely isn't normal :^P And it's definitely annoying me that I'm thinking about this, shouldn't driving be liberating?

What scares me most is passing and merging. I just can't for the life of judge distance from the mirrors very well

It's true, I haven't driven much, I'm driving more often than before. Maybe experience will help a little, I dunno.

Experience should help out a lot! But don't beat yo8urself up too much about it. <3 Parking used to terrify me.

But now I'm a teensy bit crazy while driving. xD;

I actually park pretty well, and pull up into driveways and such with little trouble, isn't that funny?

My parents praise me for my steady speed and smooth braking too.

But passing and merging scare the hell out of me still pff. I need to get my mind off of weeks-old mistakes though.

I still need to get over small mistakes from years ago. :/
