Start with a lesser: Kind of anxiety (those are implied when you say "my worst anxiety) & try, with a counselor's help, to gradually pick off the next more stressful situation untill you work on the phobia of driving over bridges. That's called desensitization therapy. There are occasions where a phobia is so severe, antianxiety medication from your doctor might be needed briefly to get started on the big one.
