Hello onlymedid! Hopefully you will find a way to distract yourself so that you don't have to virtually give up driving like I did, with obsessive thoughts of driving into opposing traffic. However, I don't recall thinking of it as an escape from having to work - I used to pray to die as a way of avoiding work - lol! It was just an anxious, obsessive thought. Have you thought of planning your work day, as you drive, or thinking about what you will have for lunch or supper. Any thought that will distract you should be helpful. But, from experience, I can tell you that turning your car over usually results in some injury that would do nothing but keep you in the hospital and more away from your family than ever. Personally, my turning my car over resulted in a fractured back, which healed for some years, but which is now requiring surgery. Distraction is, I think, the most constructive way out of these thoughts. May you find a positive and constructive way! billieJ
