Are you seeking treatment? That seems like a good first step. Most of the anxiety advice I see involves NOT accommodating the things that are scary. But I am no expert.
No, this isn't an issue that I've addressed head on since it's been easy to get around it up until this point. Yes, I know it's a problem, but since I can drive to most places where I need to go, it's ok and since men traditionally pick women up for dates, I just let them do that. It just becomes a problem when I have an interest in someone who lives outside of my driving radius.
Yah. It is not about being unsympathetic but realistic about crafting a healthy life and relationship. All talk about attractiveness and money can be thrown out the window when something like anxiety hobbles a person. No one is going to want to craft a life with a person who wants to fix them or rescue them from their troubles. Pr really, any person who might is going to be riddled with their own issues.

So you don't see anxiety itself as seriously potentially limiting to not just driving, or dating, but to your life that you have to limit these things?
Well, we all have issues. Why do I have to deal with mine before dating?
Many of us who, upon understanding these issues, deal with them for our own personal happiness and growth. You don't have to deal with yours. But it will increase your life and happiness within and without dating. And increase your chances of finding real happiness within a relationship.

Right--does this mean you don't travel? That might be a dealbreaker in itself.

Because your issues are a lot bigger than most. You've also said in the past that you can't have sex because of your "condition."
Not to be mean, but a sane man wouldn't touch you with a 10 foot pole as you are.
