[quote=Anonymous]OP, I've been there! My commute took me over the SF Bay Bridge for years. During a period of high stress, I began to worry that I'd somehow swerve over the edge. The anxiety ramped up so much that I began to take BART into the city instead. Eventually I found a driving school that focused on people with phobias. I drove the bridge several times with that instructor, whose calming presence helped. I also did phobia-focused hypnosis with a therapist, and that really helped me relax too. I still don't like driving bridges but I can do it.[/quote]
