I had a fear of driving that really changed my life for a lot of years. I became a recluse. My family hated going anywhere with me because I was such a mess. I was a 35 year old father of 2 at the time.

What I had to do was get out of the house. I reccomend getting a job or doing some voulnteer work someplace. When I am working and focused on somthing, I feel better. And it is a confidence booster.

I stopped going to talk therapy. I found a p doc that specialized in GAD. He put me on a diet (I was 20lbs under weight), showed me how to use progressive relaxation, and I got on some meds. I started attending meetings once a week.

I started light exercise. I started taking short car trips. I would take the bus to the store (I have a huge fear of busses). Sometimes it sucked bad. But sometimes it was fine. Still is, but my fear is almost gone. Its manageable. I drive without much problem anymore.

It does take a while. Once I got my meds right and started getting active, my unreasonable fears started to go away.

Take care.
