Great conversation. I FELT everything you spoke about. Being away from safety. Being alone. The mind is lying to me every friggin time.

it's good (in my opinion) to have options. one can, drive slower or put on the blinkers or pull over for a few minutes or put the car in park at long lights or huge traffic jams. i do get out and drive and make myself uncomfortable. my first panic attack was in, errrr 1993(ish). my goal after that was to not stop driving all together and i haven't.
