Well on the 13th of August, or something like that, My mom and I are flying to Orlando Florida and its a 2 hour trip. Now, I’ve flown before, but Im still like deathly afraid of it. I do have panic attacks and claustrophobia. So can you help me overcome my fear? Oh and Im 15 years old. I know, pathetic.

Thank You

So basically my story starts around 3 months ago, i got off work & to my suprise my mom bought me a car! it wasn’t brand new or anything it was a 2001 nissan sentra, pearl grey, i loved it but even though i am 19, i didn’t have my license yet, in fact i had never been behind the wheel, but i conquered my fear and took driver’d ed and my instructor was impressed told my i was a natural. I arranged to get my license the following monday but later on that day i decided i should get some practice and wrecked it in a parking lot on my way to work. Horrible, worst day of my life cost me 00 to replace the bumper and some new parts ridiculous, 1 month later my sister got into an accident of her own, i was with her so you can imagine how traumatized i am, unbelieveably 2 weeks later after picking my sister up from work it starts STORMING outside (p.s im for mew orleans, below sea level) my sisters driving and she drove us right into a pool sized puddle that floods my car not to the point of
totaled, but now im terrified of driving i’ve been in 3 accident in the past 3 months and it seems that it happend everytime i decided to drive on my own.
people are always zooming around me and im completely paranoid the whole time, i drive like a paranoid patty & i have a lot of thing to take car of in the morning but i don’t know if i have the balls, yet this defeats the purpose of having a car, i dont know what to do…
Firstly, thankyou everyone for your imput, i just want remind those of you who answered that i only caused one of these accident i was just in all 3 of them which i why im so scared to drive. im not a bad driver im just paranoid i drive slow which is why people are always zooming around me but they need to deal im not risking another accident!

I'd love to be a lawyer But I have fear of public speaking?

I have absolutely NO problem when it comes to grades..right Now I’m in first year undergrad and my average is currently in the low 90′s (around 92%). BUT my problem is I do have a fear of public speaking, I’m just good at hiding it. Whenever I present people can’t usually tell that I’m nervous and I’m slightly shaking..I just seem confident but I DO avoid speaking out in front of the class when I can.

I really want to improve because obviously public speaking should come easy to a lawyer. And I do absolutely want to be a lawyer, but I can’t seem to get over this ): My mom keeps telling me "oh it’s just first year you’ll get over it you have time.." But still I keep thinking about it!

any ideas guys? thanks for any help! xx

How do I get over my fear of driving?

I’m 15 and I have my learner’s permit. My mom is forcing me to get my driver’s license so that I can drive myself to work, and I am taking a driver’s ed class next semester in school.

Every time I get in the driver’s seat of the car, I clam up. My legs get tight, my heart starts racing, and I get SO scared. I’ve only been driving a handful of times, but never anywhere with intersections or traffic lights. The one time I drove on a road with other cars, I was going so slow the person behind me was honking; I tried to pull off the road and nearly crashed.

I am deathly afraid of intersections, highways, and just driving near other cars in general. I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing, and I’ll end up crashing and killing myself. My mom thinks that if I just drive more I’ll get over it, but I think I have a serious problem. Every time I get forced into the drivers seat I almost start to cry. What should i do? I really can’t get over this fear, but I can’t have people driving me around for the rest of my life :(

I don’t live in a place where I can just walk or bike wherever I need to go.
I don’t FEEL like i’m in control of the car. I feel like it’s a huge and bulky thing (I drive in a small Toyota Camry type car) and I feel like I can easily run into and hit things with it. I don’t feel like I have control at all.

I’m 16, turning 17 really soon and I only have my permit. I’m currently enrolled in Driver’s Ed ( we start driving tomorrow ) and I’m freaking out just thinking about it !

I’ve only driven a little bit ( on small streets, once on the highway ) and I never ever drive fast. ( 40 is my limit ) The reason why I’m scared is obviously the fear of crashing. ( I’m afraid to drive fast because I feel like I’m going to lose control of the car. ) I do have anxiety ( I’ve had anxiety ever since I was young )

We start driving tomorrow and I’m scared I’m going to screw up not only front of my instructor and my friends ( There’s only 4 kids plus my ex. ) They all have driven nearly 50 hours, and love to drive. I’m the only one who’s scared and nervous.

How do I overcome this fear ? Especially since I’m driving tomorrow. I asked my mom to take me out driving later but I don’t think she’ll pull through because of my baby sister ( she’s 4, and constantly needs to be watched. ) I’d drive with my sister, but I get really really nervous/scared when she’s in the car.

Reading my story to a class of people? Fear of public speaking!?

Monday, April 2nd, 2012 at 11:08 am

So tomorrow I have to read a short story I wrote in front of my classmates, in a 10th grade english class. It’s big, and I know a few people in it, but the problem is MY VOICE DOESN’T CARRY. And before you hit the answer button and say speak louder, don’t take me as an ignorant person. I have tried, and it hurts. I’ve talked myself hoarse and people still can’t hear. I was talking about it to my mom and the clinking of her putting a stovepot top away droned out my voice. It’s just pathetic. I need tips on how to:
a] Overcome fear of speaking in public
b] How to speak loud enough without becoming a mute
c] How to control a class of 32 while reading.

Please give me some help here, I’m dreading it.

How does someone like me overcome the fear of driving? I just turned 20 and stil don’t drive, but I’ve been able to get around every where I needed to go but now it’s time for me to start doing it myself. I have a fear because I was in a wreck when I was younger with my mom, and I’ve lost friends, family due to car accidents. Any advice?

Thanks in advance :)

help with intense driving fear?

I’m 16 and I’ve had my permit for about 7 months but i never drive. i’ve tried driving a few times on very familiar roads, and even if i feel confident at first and know exactly what i need to do, my whole body starts shaking involuntarily and my heart starts pounding and i all of a sudden don’t want to be on the road anymore. if i accelerate past 30 i feel like i’m going to lose control of the car regardless of me knowing that i have control of the brake and steering wheel. i always try to drive on very light traffic roads, but somehow someone always manages to pull up right behind me which makes me even more nervous. my mom will tell me to pull over and let them go around but i feel like if i stop too quickly they’ll hit me. for some reason i always feel like i’m not going to make a turn quick enough for other cars around even though i know they’ll have to wait. a few times i’ve blanked out on a left hand turn and almost hit trees or fire hydrants. my mom makes me even more nervous when i’m driving cause she has no control over the car and will start screaming or raising her voice for me to hit the brakes even though i already am. she doesn’t want me to drive on any potentially busy roads because she thinks i’m not ready but then i don’t know how i’m ever gonna get used to it. she won’t let me take my road lessons yet because she knows the areas that they’ll take me can be busy. i would try driving with other people if i could but she’s the only person. it’s very frustrating and it can bring me to tears jsut thinking about it. does anyone have any advice?
