Can't pay attention while driving - scary!?

Question:

I have been under a lot of stress lately. Treated horribly at work and now being threatened with termination for no reason. Anyway, since this all began, I can no longer drive much. When I get in traffic, my focus and attention are minimal. It scares me.

What's going on? I used to love to drive. :-(

Answers:
you have alot on your mind, and I think that driving is not the only thing you are having trouble with, even thought you might feel tha this happens while you are driving, ( which of course is the most dangerous) you need to try to overcome your fear of wethwe or not you will be terminated from your job.

Look jobs could come and go, but our health is irreplacable.

you need to calm down, start looking for another job, and if you loose your job, then be it.

If you cont control your stress, you will soon start with panic attacks, anxiety, and well mess up all life style for ever

Good luck

Talk to a doctor, or therapist. There should be some medications to help you focus. Stress is normal in life, but when it becomes dangerous, it is time to seek professional assistance.

You're probably under an enormous amount of stress. Stress can bring on all types of problems. I think the sooner you lose that job the better. Sometimes jobs are not worth it something better will come along.

You should look immediatly for a physician help. I am also passing through a difficult time in my life and had to look for a psichologist who is helping me a lot to deal with the situation.

Are you taking any medications? You say that you are under a lot of stress. Certain stress medications can inhibit your ability to concentrate.

I know how you feel about loving to drive. On April 9 of this year, I suffered a seizure and, according to Virginia law, cannot drive for 6 months following a seizure. Even then, if I have another seizure before the 6 months have passed, I have to wait 2 YEARS before I am allowed to drive, so I am taking my medications religiously.

OH, HOW I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO OCTOBER 9!

Have you tried any relaxation techniques before driving? They might help. I'm sure you can find some on the Internet

Everyone has an inner sense...if you feel uneasy about driving right now...pay attention to your intuition and refrain from driving until you feel safer to do so. I will pray for you.

There is a reason why you are threatened for termination. You just don't want to own up to your own shortcommings. Stay off of the roads and get you s hit together.
