I LOVE this essay and am so glad to hear from others who have struggled with driving. I wrote about the problem myself, but didn't consider the extent to which this ugly national moment (years-long moment) has played into my anxiety. I tend to blame these things on my own specific madness, but maybe it's all the shit OUT THERE that is making me crazy! Thanks for giving me a new perspective. Here's my account of panic while driving, if you're interested: https://open.substack.com/pub/longmiddle/p/drive-my-car?r=j2fm&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and writing. It is always a comfort to find others who share our anxieties, especially those that make us feel ashamed. I read in The New York Times that the Israeli author Etgar Keret also doesn't drive...So, we are not alone!
