To take myself out for a therapeutic drive.

Going through a tough time. Recently found dating apps on DP's phone. We are looking to separate, not married but shared tenancy.

Tonight I'm full of anxiety. DP left for work a few hours ago. I want to wrap myself up, pop myself in the car and just drive for a while with the music up loud. It's 4.15am. WIBU? I don't know where I would go and I should have work in the morning, but not sure I can work with such little sleep.

Call in to have a few days off.
Are you OK to drive is the question, tired or to wound up?
I can not say relax but find a way to vent safely for yourself.

@Mumtime2 thank you. I am toying with the idea of staying up and going to work to keep my mind busy, or going for a drive to clear my head and try again with work tomorrow.
I wish I could make a decision. The smallest ones seem to be so difficult at the moment.

I would absolutely. Drive about an hour, good podcast or audiobook. Get a nice extra hot coffee from a drive-thru Starbucks or costa. Park somewhere that will have a beautiful sunrise and just enjoy the peace. Very sorry about what you’re going through. Everything is worse in the dark and at night time. Big hugs x
