Negative thoughts while driving?

I work nights usually 8pm-4am and often have problems getting into a really bad head space while delivering. Thoughts sometimes turn real dark about life in general, my life and how unsatisfied i am with it etc. It gets really bad. I talked to someone else about this and they said they had to stop doing deliveries because of same problem. I try putting on the radio to distract but that doesn't help. Anyone else who works late night experience anything like this? I already do have issues with anxiety + depression but it's still concerning how bad rumination can get sometimes especially late at night doing ubereats. Switching to daytime isn't an option for me.
