Speaking of driving..

Do your moods affect your driving?

I drive pretty fast in general.

But when I'm manic I drive fast and reckless. And sometimes, I don't want to admit, but I think about driving into poles or trees.

Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything...but sometimes I close my eyes when I'm driving to see if I can stay in the right lane.

I use to go to college that was way out in the country.
I would drive really fast and see how far I could go holding my breath. I would end up speeding more to cover a greater distance.
I think I am lucky I never passed out.

Singing in the car is one of the best forms of emotional release!

If I am mad, I know not to get near the steering wheel. I am lucky that I haven't caused an accident.

When I am hyper, I am loose and fancy free.
When I am depressed, I am slow and uncaring.
It is only on those few days that I am level headed, that I am actually cautious.

I used to drive fast till I saw a young boy on the side of the road he was the age of my nephew... What if I killed him. Even more horrifying was what if some ass killed my loved one for the hell of it. Something to think about when speeding around, it cured me.

I drive fast only when there is a good song on the radio.

Used to drive like a speed demon when manic. Now, with a brand new car I avoid driving when I feel unbalanced since it's the only nice car I have ver had.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
