Amanda Seyfried is taking a break from dating fellow celebrities for her mental health.

The actress, who formerly romanced the likes of Dominic Cooper and Ryan Phillippe, says she can't take the attention that comes with dating another famous person.

In fact, she even sought professional help to cope with panic attacks...

"[Therapy] has been such a great tool, and my therapist told me that I passed with flying colors, but we'll see how things go," she tells Glamour U.K. in the November issue. "I still do get terribly nervous, and that's partly due to the fact I think too much and overanalyze things."

She tells the mag that dating Phillippe was especially tough.

"When I was with Ryan, people followed me so much more, and that's probably one of the reasons that I'm not looking to date someone who's famous now," Seyfried explains.

Perhaps that's why she's taken up with New York-based real estate executive Andrew Joblon, who was formerly linked to Kelly Bensimon.

Although Amanda also has a Big Apple pad, she and Andrew were recently spotted together in L.A., taking a Barry's Bootcamp class in West Hollywood.

Clearly, Andrew doesn't have two of her dealbreakers. And those are?

"Someone who treats his mother like s--t" and "a guy who waxes his chest."

Take notes, fellas.
