Anyone drive a vehicle?

I do. Anyone else? I drive a car. Is this a sign im high functioning? Do you enjoy driving and can drive far? I don’t anymore…

I couldn’t afford it without my dad. I don’t work.

I don’t venture off too far.

Same here. I just drive to the store and maybe my doctors if needed. I don’t drive more than 30 minutes away from home. I don’t go on the freeway anymore.

I used to love driving. Now, it’s like hard work.

I drove to San Fran one time in my truck when I was impulsive. This was years before schizophrenia. That’s the furthest I’ve driven in one day. It was fun. I listened to Tool all the way there.

I drive often though I do have thoughts of accidents and other minor problems.

I drive but when I was on APs I ended up in several accidents. 2 my fault, minor, and 1 that almost killed my daughter and kids about 6 years ago going to a pokemon event at toys r us. A brand new that year f250 dual wheel blew thru a red light at 75 in a 40 and smashed our sedan. I got a concussion, daughter who was front seat cracked her head on the dash, and boys in back got bruises from seatbelts and whiplash.

Our car was a 2012 Malibu, had it less than 2 years. Completely totalled. But emts checked us, said we were ok and we went to the ■■■■■■■ pokemon event.

All within this city of 60k people, the city we grew up in 20 miles south has a car in a building at least once a month, usually heroin or people on their 6th or higher OWI charge. Love Wisconsin.

driving is a necessity where i live. i drive in town where the speed limit is 30mph to the grocery store and gas station. a few times a week. and then i drive to the hospital in the neighboring county to see my pdoc and nurse for my meds every 3 months. but i refuse to drive on the interstates and don’t even like highway driving. im hoping to be able to move somewhere where a car is not necessary and commute to work and grocery by walking or riding a bicycle. gonna be a few years before i have the money saved for that though. i will most likely have to renew my driver’s license one more time before i will have enough money.

i don’t have my own car and am on mom and dad’s insurance policy. i borrow their hybrid, it get’s great gas mileage, like 40 miles to the gallon. dad said i can use it if i get a job, he’s thinking about getting a 3rd car anyways.

I have an old 2002 Toyota. I try not to drive it any more than I have to. Trying to make it last as long as possible. I bought it in 2005 when I lived with my mom. She cosigned the loan with me. She died in 2018, and I can’t afford another one, having to pay rent now and everything else.

I don’t drive myself. I lost the skill years ago.

Now I walk the earth, like Caine from Kung-Fu. :wink:

I drive, but not often.

I go to the doctor, the grocery store and to the dialysis clinic for my mother in law.

That’s about it,

Even before lockdown.

I’m just not a fan of driving in general, makes me nervous.

I drive and own a car. It’s stick shift which I really don’t care for.
I used to be a really aggressive driver before I was medicated. I drove all over ohio.

now I don’t have the confidence to drive on my own.
I usually have my mom accompany me if I do drive somewhere.

I drive, but I’m scared out by myself. I carry pepper spray so I can go to my dr appointments

Why? Its pretty safe here in Canada. I don’t know about the US and why would anyone attack you? I mean you’re not super rich and don’t have millions of dollars.

I’m a woman. Women get attacked all the time. My dad was an abuser. And, at 19 I was drugged and kidnapped from a party, and was held against my will for three months. I have every reason to be afraid.
