Adult ADHD, anxiety and MDD here. It's terrible to say this, but my fear of falling has more to do with others seeing me fall than anything else. I've fallen twice since picking up cycling again, once while trying to get off the bike and my shorts hung up on the saddle a ND the second time was taking a turn and the bike wanted to go straight. I only got a scraped knee for my efforts and only one person saw me fall and she helped me up and dusted me off. I felt like a complete idiot.
