5. Drive carefully.

Your mind will be racing and you may not be concentrating on your driving. Resist the urge to take out your feelings in traffic. Drive slowly. Pay attention. If you're crying or upset, don't drive. Call a friend or family member to pick you up. Go home, change your clothes and relax or go for a walk. Do anything to take your mind off of your crisis, if even for a few moments at a time. Don't drive until you can concentrate on driving.
