dear Jode, thanks for joining us, and sometimes posts like yours do get pushed onto the next page before we know it.
I have experienced the loss of my licence a few years ago where I lost it for 2 years, where I was in a terrible mess with depression, so it stranded me on a property 5 kms from town, so I did have a friend around the corner also on a property who drove me around, but sometimes his decision to help me out didn't come true in many regards.
I shouldn't say this because we were close friends, but he has passed away 5 years ago.
So this does put you in a predicament which makes life very difficult, and I would presume that this would be one problem that is annoying your daughter.
Can I ask you whether you lost your licence due to alcohol or perhaps by smoking, and by saying this I don't mean to upset you.
You say that you are back onto medication so you are seeing a doctor, but have they given you a medicare plan where you can have 10 free visits with a psychologist or a psychiatrist, and this would be a good idea to follow through with this, and then they will be able to tackle your self harming, which may give you some short term relief but long term damage.
I do hope that you have close transport so this won't make you feel closed in.
I also hope that you can get back to us. L Geoff. x
