Taling about brain fog- I feel very distraced when I drive. My husband thinks I'm bound to get in an accident. Anyone feel like this?

Yes and one of the reasons I no longer trust myself to drive

I'm with you Tassie, and I haven't driven for over two years - my choice, cos I don't feel confident. I KNOW what the trafic light colours mean, but I feel that my judgement is impaired and I could cause an accident. Larraine x

I know i'M WORRIED ABOUT MY DRIVING. I've never in my life have I been in an accident. My husband keeps on expressing his concern about my so called inattentive driving. He has scared me into focusing on my inattentiveness which actually I think it has made things worse..

I got lost about a month ago went to the local shop two streets away on the way back forgot to cross road and got completly lost took me ages to figure out where I was, this was walking I had to surrender driving lic years ago due to loss of peripheral sight. Imagine if I was in a car could end up the other side of country !!!!

Hi Jean

I only drive if I feel in control and totally with it.

Which is sadly not often.

I just wouldn't want to risk harming anyone, so choose not to drive.

I hate the fog that causes this.

Hope you feeling ok today.

Take care gentle hugs love Sheena xxxx :-) :-) :-)

Hi Jean thankfully I havent had this for quite a while now although my daughter costantly complains how bad my driving has become. Years ago I used to visit my mother about 80 miles away and half way through the journey I would realise where I was and wonder how I got there, but now I dont drive if I dont feel right and have been considering giving up altogher. Take care Alison xx

Interesting - thanks for all your stories, It's good to know that I'm not alone. My boys are not driving yet and they need me as their driver.
