When I did drive I would pray for the other drivers on the road

Iāve had driving lessons. Caused me more anxiety than good. Iām pretty sure Iād be a lousy driver. I react slowly, Iām not aware enough of my surroundings, Iām not assertive enough, and I tend to space out.
Iāll stick to bicycles and public transportation for now

I didnāt get my drivers license until I turned 24. I was diagnosed at 22. I started hearing voices at 19. I drive but it terrifies me. If I know where Iām driving to and itās not a city Iām ok. I used to pray and be prepared mentally to die every time I got in the car for the first six months I started driving. Iām not at that level of fear anymore when I know where Iām going but Iām still scared. Itās hard and it limit me from going out much. Itās a real issue for me. I want to start dating later but Iām afraid my fear of driving will limit that too. I drove three hours straight south while following my dads car and with my mom in the car for vacation. I made it but I still donāt feel confident enough in driving to do much. Maybe someday Iāll get over it
Iām a decent driver

I just worry that I have a crash and the sedation caused by seroquel is to blame. I couldnāt live with myself if someone got hurt. So I donāt drive
I drive myself crazy every day. Does that count?

I drove (badly) for forty years. I was forever getting tickets and getting into accidents and totalling my car. How I survived it Iāll never know. I never hurt myself or anyone else (amazingly). Then they finally cancelled my auto insurance. I havenāt driven in over three years now and I am very happy.
Inspiringā¦ Iāll driveā¦ I was okay with driving until I fd up and sped to beat a red light and almost slammed some xars and heard a few cop carsā¦ My ex said if you drive youāll kill yourselfā¦ It stuck in my head death experience in my subconcious it never leftā¦ Partially bc I literally almost slammed some ppl and it was really badā¦ Extremely traumatized especially after I heard the cop cars

I donāt drive either. Seeing things doesnāt help.
I drive by myself only very close to my house.
With someone else in the car I can drive further away from my home but I stay away from highways.
Iām in a similar situation Qwerty. I can drive but my license was revoked for not taking my medication a few years ago. Somehow the Safety Division of the Department of Motor Vehicles got wind of my non medicated illness. I have suspect it may have had something to do with an interview I had with a lady involving my disability income. I informed her I was not taking medication with the doctorās consent and a few weeks later my driverās license was placed on a temporary suspension. I had to take a test and since I now need glasses apparently I failed the vision test as I was not wearing them.
Later I appealed and passed the vision test as well as the written test but received a letter through the mail informing me my license was under full suspension due to me not taking medication for my illness. It is a bit of aā¦ drama. (Was going to say ā ā ā ā show hah) In any case, I am in the process of another appeal and will have yet another interview on February 13th. I have been taking medication and now have glasses, Iām hopeful Iāll be able to regain my driverās license finally after about two and a half years.
Well I drove from az to Ohio in a psychosis but I wouldnāt recommend it.
