So,I have been riding a moped for years,I loved it was my baby,I was always happy,comfortable,felt safe and confident on it,my fear has always been cars.
Well my moped died a few months ago and I had to learn to drive a car,passed my test all good but I'm still scared to death in the car.today I drove to the rvi hospital in newcastle as it will help my dad out.my mum is going to have to go 2 times a week for 12 weeks so I said I'd do 1 day.I have never drove their before add that to my complete fear in the car and my dad,well cue one very stressed,worried nervous wreck that ended up in tears most of the day.my dad has little to no patience and cannot understand why I am as scared in the car,I have tried explaining and told him he doesn't need to understand just accept please.well he chewed my ear off for going to slow,was harassing me to overtake and basically made me feel like crap.I'm only doing this to help him out as its nearly 100 mile round trip but feel like a total failure.
On top of this my job is getting beyond a joke,I'm having the p**s taken out of me as I'm the only one they trust to do all the extra,now I have to do banking aswel,I'm doing 10 times more than everyone else and payed the same!
Worried sick about my mum,its nothing serious but she is getting down and there is nothing I can do to help which is killing me as all I want to do is help her.
Sorry bit of a rant but can't really talk to anyone about this and was hoping someone might have some tips on driving nerves?
On a good note,went tithe yard with my little dog harry and spent some time with malaika and they always make me feel better bless them.
