Jeff, I can relate, for sure. The driving thing -- I used to do that all the time. It was one of the first manifestations of my OCD that I experienced in my teens after I got my license. Fortunately, I was able to deal with it early and effectively, so it didn't last beyond a year or two. But I remember how stressful it was, and I'm sorry it's something you've had to deal with.

Thank you so for reading and commenting on the piece. I really appreciate your kinds words and feedback! :)
