From someone that experiences this 'call of the void' almost daily, I've spent long enough with it now that it doesn't make me anxious anymore, I know what it does and how it makes me feel. I can never just shrug if off but I can get passed it, it leaves me ruminating for the rest of the day.startung with a flash thought. What happens if I yank the steering wheel right? And then hit that barrier. I will then spend the day thinking about different speeds, other types of vehicles involved and the list goes on. I do want to say that I'm not suicidal, I don't wish to take my own life but I am OK with dying
