I'm can't stop being scared

Last month I was recently loaned a car by my parents to drive to my university, but I've had so many near accidents since then. Just a few days ago the engine crashed while I was driving, the car was showing smokes, and I almost got done in by the steering wheel not being able to move. I wish I could stop driving entirely but I have no one else in my life to support me. I'm alone living the adult life. I wish it all of it could stop even just for a while

Hi Rafael,I am sorry life seems to be difficult for you at this moment in time.

Can I suggest that there is help available from the student services section at your university.

You will find staff available to talk to confidentially and if necessary arrange for you to manage your study in a way that works for you, to release some of the pressure.

Being involved in this forum or volunteering some time helps you do something for others and yourself outside the study environment.

Hoping next week goes better for you 🙏 🐈‍⬛

Hi Rafael, unfortunately we cannot put Life on hold. Know that even having a car

is not a guarantee that it won't break down. I hear you though. A car is a machine.

We may be able to go from point A to Point B but the car may have different

ideas. Being prepared by having phone numbers with you, water, blanket,

fire extinguisher and whatever else may give you some comfort if the

car breaks down. It's not that it will but when (like the commercials tell us.

You're not alone with this feeling. Remember that Adulthood has many good

and positive plans for you as well. :) xx
