Default Anyone else dependent on others? (Driving)

Life is quite different giving up that freedom. I don't care to go out because of my hypercusis and over-stimulation issues. Late at night a trip to the gas station or Walgreens all by myself would feel like a tiny piece of freedom though.

Anyone else in this position?

Peace, Jace
