Hi
I’ve posted before about getting charged for dangerous driving after failing to stop and being charged for drink driving on the same incident..
Going to wait few months before I get a court date and charged ...
I accept I was in the wrong
However, this depression I am feeling from all this is crazy.
A lot of my income was coming from my deliveries, and the fact that I could be banned for 4-5 years is making me insanely depressed to the point I feel sick.
this incident happened a week ago, I can barely force myself to eat a meal... I have no appetite for the last week... I sleep all day and night as an escape from the reality of what I did as a coping mechanism...
I have gone out and met some friends however as soon as I get home the feelings of extreme depression overcome me as I basically live alone ... and when I go outside it’s still all I think about.
I’m 24 so being banned at this age will have a huge impact on me financially, the lack of freedom is making me slightly suicidal (but I wouldn’t commit suicide).
How does one cope mentally knowing that the freedom of driving is taken away for 3-4 years?
How can I get myself to go back to a life without a car?
my question really is how did you guys who are on a ban deal with feelings of depression and anxiety?
living alone makes it hard to cope as you have nobody to talk to to distract yourself.
The only way to describe how this feels is that it feels 20x worse than a heartbreak or a girlfriend cheating on you.
