Hi all
I am 64 yrs old
. My 16 year old daughter started riding with me reassuring me as I drove around our neighborhood. As I got better I went on driving my very small car to a Ford truck then to a Malibu to a van. Now I'm not saying it was easy but the more I drove the better I felt...but for the last four years I went into another deep isolating depression and haven't been able to force myself back into the car. I get very panicky and I don't feel in control. I am also diabetic and have to watch my sugar levels as stress can either increase my sugar or drop it fast...I have a lapband and have lost 60 lbs in 17 months. I thought losing weight would make me feel better...but I'm still isolating...
