Driver license
During my teen year my family struggled with money so we didn't have the money for me to get my license and I didn't get my first job until just before I graduated high school. Now at 27 I have depression, bad anxiety, ppd, ptsd from past abusive ex, ADHD and am legally blind is one eye since I was born but it's gotten worse over time to the point glasses won't help. Note: back when my family was struggling I had extended family that was more willing to help me get places I needed or wanted to go. Now as a SAHM of 3 I feel helpless with my husband gone at work all day and less outside family willing to help. My goal is to have it before the snow falls so I can go back to work so we can get back to having two incomes. It would also be nice to get around to places I want or need without having to rely on others. How can I boost my confidence behind the wheel?

I had BAD driving anxiety and honestly the only thing that helped or got me over it was driving, like exposure therapy. I was TERRIFIED to drive and would avoid it at all costs, but the more I drove, the less anxiety I had and the more confident I was behind the wheel
Just driving is what helped me, I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to driving, I've had my license for 4 yrs now ans have still never driven on the express way as a driver only as a passenger, I'm too scared because I don't trust anyone else's driving, also I almost always refuse to drive at night because have have really bad astigmatism so it's really hard to see, but definitely get out there and drive with someone who won't be overbearing

I'd practice with someone in the car for a little while. I just got my license Wednesday. I'm 30. But I don't have any vision issues.
