Trying to overcome my fear of driving.

Need support/advice

I've been diagnosed with OCD this year and I'm already on medication for it.

Last year, I started learning how to drive but because of financial hardships, I had to give up driving lessons for a while, but now I am TERRIFIED of ever driving again. I know I have no other choice but to learn and eventually pass my driving licence but everytime I think about getting in a car and driving, I feel anxious, like I could almost pass out.

Has anyone else dealt with that before? And if so, how did you end up getting over your fear?

Any advice is welcome.
