How can I get over my anxiety or fear of driving on highways?

Get a love one (eg: daddy) to be beside you, take the slow lane and repeatedly face your fear till you get better.

What will help you is practicing by driving in the night time when there is no rush hour. Try practicing with someone who is an exceptional driver and someone who you are comfortable with. The only way to get over the fear is to go out and do it. :)

Try to focus on where you are now, and your driving today. Don't think about the previous experiences, they will only distract you from driving today, and cause and accident, which will further increase your distress level. No phones, no texting, no drinking. no drugs. Driving means that you are driving on the same road that my family could be on. Being undistracted is important.

The first thing is accepting that you might be anxious. After that, take deep breaths and try to think about something else. Think about the person who you feel very comfortable with.

I always think that almost everyone learns to drive on highways and if almost everyone can do it, the I can definitely do it too. Yes, it is scary, but usually accidents are caused by driving while drunk or texting and if I don't do those things and pay close attention while driving, I probably won't get into an accident.

Most of all you have to know you're not alone,i promise you'll be fine.And maybe if you find a new hobby you will forget about your problems and focus on your hobby

Everyone is different. Some people need to get over fear by simply doing it, but it may be safer to avoid the action until you have overcome it mentally

Be in the same car with someone driving on a highway, and gradually tell yourself it's okay, and that there is no more danger on the highway than anywhere else. Next, find a time when there is not too many people on the highway. Follow the speed limit at the minimum and proceed to practicing driving, and keep yourself calm. Always remember, "you are always stronger than your mind." Continue practicing more and more, until it becomes frequent and you feel comfortable. Don't ever drive when you feel uncomfortable.

By practicing driving in a time of day you feel most comfortable, and with a reward. Maybe take the freeway to go get yourself that new outfit you want, or a ice cream treat.

Go out with your friends on small roads and build it up slowly gaining confidence. Being with a friend will help as they can support you all the way. Once you get confidence you can go out on your own.
