Does anyone else get foggy headed and can't focus right when your driving lately I've been so sucky at driving and almost getting into wrecks as if I can't focus on one thing at a time ?

I get that way when I'm depressed. When I'm up I'm a very very good driver. But I do get times where I feel like I can't concentrate properly. I can tell when I don't feel safe to drive, and I don't.

When I am manic, I try to limit driving. I have only been truly manic a few times. I can't concentrate enough to be safe.
Thanks for this!

I've been having trouble driving since my last medication adjustments. I like being stable though, so my husband does most of the driving now. I just don't feel as safe behind the wheel as I used to because I forget to look in my mirrors, lack depth perception, and generally feel too scatterbrained to focus on what I'm doing.
