Thank you, your experiences eskie are exactly what I fear may happen to me after a particually hard session. I really need to find a way through this because I have driven a few times when I knew I wasn't safe (not always after therapy). I think I need to talk to my therapist about her ensuring i'm safe to drive because I quite clearly wasn't when I left the other day and I wasn't thinking straight enough to make good decisions, e.g. I tried to find a place to pull over down the road, ended up going down and icy dirt track and nearly getting trapped doing a 3point turn on the ice. Horrid and stressful. Plus in the dark when you can't fully focus it is hard to gauge distance between cars, so like you if the traffic is busy i feel i could underestimate distances.

I'm still feeling very stressed. I can't tell if stress is causing me to be nauseous or if I have a stomach bug and am just mis-reading signals as stress. I feel so ill. I have to go to my sister's house tonight which requires a 2hr train journey....I can't really cope but I can't let her down and it might be good to try and distract myself. Just hope I don't feel so nauseous later.
