re: So now I suddenly have a fear of bridges

Dealt with it myself about 10 years ago. Took longer than I'd like to admit but I eventually got over it by just facing the fear. Trick I used when driving was looking at license plate on car in front of me and trying to come up with different words out of the letters or multiplying the numbers on the plate in my head as high as I could take it until I got over the bridge. This kept my eyes on the road but distracted my brain from the stupid anxiety that was trying to take over.
