The fact that you have this ambivalence about driving into the water says just that--part of you wants to die, and part of you wants to live. I have had the same thing--felt an uncontrollable urge to drive off the bridges over the interstate and to jump in front of the Metra train. Thing is the urge passes eventually and with talking about it to not just the psychologist you see but to the psychiatrist as well. S/he can't help you if you are not honest about what is going on. HOw else to even know what med's to prescribe. Don't know your age, but I dealt with lots of depression and other crap when I was younger, and now that I am older, it returns as a result of lots of physical problems. Talk, talk, talk or else there is no one who can help.
