Before diagnosis I would manic drive a lot. I would weave in and out of traffic because everyone was moving slow. Got 2 tickets in like 2 weeks when I was manic. I don't drive anymore and am very nervous being a passenger. I've had this on and off since childhood. I used to beg my parents not to go on the freeway and they would lie because they had to.....and then we'd hit the freeway and I would ball up on the floor of the backseat and cry. Nobody knows why. I still get panic attacks when I drive often. It's worse being a passenger, I trust myself but not when I'm unwell.
