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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
