I can drive, but not so much realistically. I have a harder time seeing at night and when passing cars on the opposite side of the road when their lights are on. I have a lot of anxiety and intrusive thoughts too ("omg there are deer around here, this bad thing will happen"). Whenever possible I avoid driving. I also have this intense fear of pumping gas at a gas station. Someone else always has to do it. Idk. I live half an hour away from everything I need (e.g. therapist, psychiatry) so I have to drive sometimes. I used to avoid it religiously but my parents got really fed up with me about it and there are a lot of times where I'm the only one who can get me to my appointments. As far as my therapist is concerned though, I can't drive enough to consider myself "able to drive."
