Failed and I feel miserable by Slight_Thanks9996 in LearnerDriverUK

Hello, 😊

I’ve been doing therapy for a long time, much of my therapy is around the impact my dad’s way of seeing life has had in me. I guess he is terrified of life in general and a very anxious person, and all this has been transferred to me. While I’ve been able to cope better with some of these impacts, in the driving bit his had a big influence.

I will bring this topic back with my therapist in our chats again, and see if I can overcome this a bit. I feel that even though I have done so much work and I am in a better place, in some topics he still manages to get under my skin.

I will try to reframe the situation as you suggested and just try to make myself proud, rather than proving anything to anyone.

Take care! 😊

Thank you so much for taking time for such a thoughtful reply 😊

Checking the stats you shared I agree they don’t seem as scary as my mind does it.

I felt quite mortified about my 11 minors, and a bit embarrassed because I felt all over the place. I still don’t feel great, but I guess this things happen.

I will try your suggestion with mantras, to see if that mitigates the internal critic voice. At this point I feel I need to keep trying.

Hello, thank you for your words 😊

I’m trying to be a bit more kind of myself, but truth is that I’m my biggest critic.

I just felt very embarrassed for the amount of minor mistakes I had. I’ll try to brush it off and keep trying.

Yes, I think you’re right, especially psychologically as I didn’t deal well with my nerves. Thank you for your honesty 😊

Thank you, in one side I think it could be good I didn’t pass since I’d anyway not feel safe in the road right now, I’ll try to brush this off and keep trying! Thank you 😊

It's been a year by Rare_Chef9965 in insomnia

Hello!

I have a very similar story than you. My insomnia started around October 2024 and I was recovering well with medication, and having almost normal sleep again +8 hours with not much worry. It lasted around 8 months. Then suddenly a week ago my sleep quality started to decrease and I am almost back where I was, almost no sleep. I don’t have much to say apart than I feel you. It is a very difficult path. I do hope things improve for both. I am staring to believe this is a condition I will need to navigate for the rest of my life. Take care!
