i’m not fully blind but had an eye taken out a few years ago. i never learned to drive but where i grew up most people didn’t drive places. we took public transit, walked, or biked.

i live in a city now and even though my boyfriend is a solid driver i’ve noticed being on the road makes me anxious, like sick to my stomach. it’s been a couple years of this now trying to figure it out… i’ve never been in any car accidents and i’ve road-tripped a lot without anything bad happening. all i can think is my depth perception is screwed, i obviously have a blind spot, and i can never tell what anyone else is doing on the road. i can’t pinpoint “landmarks” in the city either despite living here for a while so i’m still unfamiliar with where anything is.

is this anxiety normal? how do i get over the vision related parts? i have a therapist but he doesn’t really know much about this.
