Hi Chris,
I work for myself, I work out of home have a singles events company and online dating site, it is good to work out of my home when I was going through this, but the very high stress level of working for yourself is what brought this all on to begin with so its a catch 22! I also just got a part time job working reception at at local retirement home, its close to my house and I enjoy working with the elderly, then can give you a perspective on whats really important in life...I'm sure you know that. I think that would be a good enviroment for you to work in, they certainly arn't going to judge you...they know all about aches and pains and anxiety. Since you have experience in the retirement industry try reception, its simple just answering phones and typing and stuff, fairly low stress.

Oh I also forgot to mention, I am on 10 mg's of paxil a day have been on it for a month now and am starting to feel much better, but I did notice a difference after about 2 weeks. If you find the paxil is not doing anything for your panic or anxiety by a month go back to your doctor maybe you need a different brand.

I am a merchandiser/vendor. I travel in my state and service K Marts and Targets for different brands. We make sure the new products are cut in, make sure certain sales are running, ect. Sometimes I stock dog food and check for out of date candy. I dont recommend this type of work if you hate to drive. I found my job at Narms.com They list all the companies seeking full or PT vendors. Most will train. It is flexible and pays well.

Hi Chris
I use to be a Title Officer. It is a high stress job within the Title Insurance Business. I also have GAD/Depression and BAD Anxiety which I belive was brought on by all the stress of my job. I have no ideal what I will be doing after my disability runs out. I am barely making my bills and if I don't start to feel better by the end of December I am going to put my house on the Market so I can pay all my bills and go live with either my Mom or my sister. I think it depends on the severety of your anxiety which can allow you to continue your job or work. Truth is I am very scared of loosing everything even though I know it is just stuff but its my stuff and I worked so hard to get where I am today. I cry a lot and I pray a lot and I ask my doctor if I am going to be able to go back to work.. he says yes but I have yet to feel like I can. I have been off work now for 3 1/2 months and this is the hardest thing. SO BORED SITTING AT HOME ALL DAY !!
