I'm 30, have panic attacks and my mom drives me to and from work because I can't drive by myself due to the anxiety. People have commented negivately about this and I wanted someone else's opinion on this situation. Do you think it's weird, childish etc?

Okay, this is coming from a thirteen year old, but yeah. It's a little weird. But not childish.
Maybe try driving to work with your mom beside you, slowly shortening the amount of time she stays with you, repeat some phrase over and over to yourself to calm down, and try to focus on the road and not on what might happen. Try breathing excercises too. Hope I helped.
Ignore those negative comments!
It's your life, your job, etc. Why would let
them bother you?
Suggestion: When someone comments about
it, have a funny answer.
Others: ' You look stupid with yr mum
driving you.'
You: ' Why should I ditch my chaffuer?
It's so relaxing! Why drive?'
Then maybe say' I can't for health reasons.'
I can't drive, due to my Epilepsy. I catch
Public Transport everywhere.
It's a sense of independence.
If you work in a remote area with no
Public Transport.
That's yr choice.
