<p>Off topic maybe, but I used to travel around the country with my imaginary friends in my car with me. I felt like a crazy person but it was so much fun. I preferred to travel with them than with real people.</p>
<p>I have painfully weaned myself off doing that when I started putting rules in place about where I can and can't DD. Driving is boring, and sometimes I catch myself inwardly DDing in the car (as opposed to openly talking and acting!). I still love driving but if there's only me in…</p>

<p>I have painfully weaned myself off doing that when I started putting rules in place about where I can and can't DD. Driving is boring, and sometimes I catch myself inwardly DDing in the car (as opposed to openly talking and acting!). I still love driving but if there's only me in the car it can be a bit sad and boring now. But it is better than being crazy.</p> I thought just like u a few m…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2017-03-28:4661400:Comment:2548892017-03-28T09:18:07.390ZTatiana Diashttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/TatianaDias280
I thought just like u a few months ago. I was terrified I would DD and cause an accident or something, I got even more worried when I started driving with my sister by my side CU's it wasn't only my life at risk anymore... But its like when you're occupied, at least it is with me, I focus on everything around and even if I DD it's things related to driving so I can't say I'm actually unfocused. Don't worry, you'll be fine :)

There have been a few instances in my life where I've driven to work, parked my car & had no memory of the drive in. It was like I was on autopiolet the whole ride in. Kinda freaked me out actually.<br />

I agree with Matthew R on this. Driving can be a bit daunting at first and can take some time getting the hang of things. The more you practice, your confidence will increase and it'll become like second nature. While you're learning try practicing Mindfulnesss to keep you grounded in the…

<p>Your parents are right. It really is much easier than it seems. I thought i would be terrible at driving in a straight line. But after the initial awkwardness is over, it really isn't difficult. I admit that i used to dd a lot on my way home from uni. It was so bad... i'd get in the car, start the engine, daydream, and then somehow arrive at my house. And it's like, I HAVE NO MEMORY OF DRIVING WHATSOEVER...so yeah, even if you dd, you can still drive, tho i wouldn't…</p>

<p>Try not to fear too much about it. Driving is scary at first, but you will get used to it right away. Like everything else, it's just a rite of passage. Good luck! </p>
