Overwhelmed by Fear Driving My New Keke Napep – Need Advice

I bought a second-hand Keke Napep to hustle amid Nigeria’s tough economy. My mother-in-law helped me complete the purchase, and I spent a lot to get it in good condition. I’m new to driving, so I started slowly and make small money. Since I began, I haven’t felt like myself. I live in constant fear. I’ve lost my appetite, can’t finish a meal, and lie awake worrying about the next day’s shift. Even though I make decent money, I dread every ride. My wife, siblings and in-laws see the income and think I’m doing great. I haven’t told them how anxious I am because I don’t want them to think I’m not serious. On a good day I bring home ₦32,000, but inside I’m miserable. I’m thinking of selling the Keke and reinvesting the money in another business, but I’m scared my family will judge me. Has anyone experienced this kind of fear or anxiety? I’d appreciate your insight and advice.
