Finding it frustrating how depression is making learning new skills like driving more difficult

[benbt]

I am currently learning to drive. I have found the process frustrating as with depression it has taken soo much longer than it would have otherwise. I know comparisons don’t help, but sometimes I just wish it was a bit easier. In particular I have found depression has made me more forgetful when it comes to learning parking techniques and making sure I carry out proper observations. I have been practicing driving frequently with my dad. When off I have been driving his long commute to work. This has really helped. I am seeing progress, but just frustrated how long it is taking

Some people pick it up quickly others not. It sounds like you’re actually doing well. You e got this. Try not to judge yourself. If anything try to be super cool like your some amazing person that can drive or fly anything given practice sometimes mind tricks help

You will not believe how I struggled to learn how to drive. I had terrible motor skills and it took a long time to ace driving. Now it's like walking

Keep at it!
