My Driving Anixety

When I was sixteen I was excited to start driving. I got my learner's license a couple of days after my birthday and although driving didn't always go well I enjoyed it. By the time I turned seventeen I was able to take the driving test so I could drive by myself. I delayed it for a couple of months but eventually took the test and passed the first time. When I passed I didn't believe I deserved it because my driving wasn't perfect.

The first time I drove by myself was great. I was really excited to drive and do things by myself. However, I quickly realized that driving wasn't a fun thing. I suffered from some very common beginner's mistakes which made me feel like I was an awful driver. Although I was aware of my mistakes, I had trouble correcting them and soon decided that I shouldn't be driving. Honestly, I don't think I'm a bad driver but my fear makes me feel like I am. I don't really know the exact moment it happened but I developed driving anxiety. 

Now I can't drive without feeling anxious. Even short drives to places I know cause me an extreme amount of stress because of that I haven't driven in months. Driving, however, is something I'm going to have to do. Right now I can get away without it but in a couple of years I'll be on my own and I'm going to need to drive places. I want to start driving again but I haven't fixed my driving anxiety at all. I don't know where to begin, it feels like I have to start all over....
