Hey guys, so recently I have been having thoughts while I’m driving that I’ve accidentally hit someone and just not realised. It’s starting to really stress me out every time I drive because I feel like I can’t enjoy driving. I do really enjoy it and find it to be therapeutic but I can’t shake this thought out of my head. I’ve asked other people if they have the same thoughts when they drive just to be hit with “well how do you not know if you’ve hit someone?” I know deep down I haven’t but my brain constantly keeps tricking me and I have to drive back to wherever I’ve come from just to make sure I didn’t. I constantly stress myself out over it and I can’t cope with it anymore. It makes me not want to drive anywhere and I hate when people ask me to drive somewhere, all I can think is what if I’ve accidentally hit someone and I’m a horrible person. It’s just so draining because I would obviously know if I had. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced these thoughts so I know I’m not alone in it because I cant cope with them and want to know if anyone has any techniques on how to deal with them ?
