      I am on the fence on this. Anxiety is very real. For some people, they literally cannot move because their body is responding as if they’re in the middle of a mass shooting, even though nothing is going on.
      However if your anxiety is so bad that you can’t work, you should be able to collect disability. If it’s not, then I’d suggest more therapy and medication. I have tons of family with anxiety, some are on a daily pill and some take them as needed. All respond very well to the meds.

It's like people forget that the world doesn't owe us anything. I live in Boston. It's probably a global top 25 city, and would probably be the 5th most important economic hub in the USA, behind NYC, SF, LA, and Chicago. So, big magnet city for immigrants.

I see a therapist, and do my best. It’s always there, but I get periods where it comes on so bad for 3 or 4 months where I just can’t function. I work, but everyone at work notices it. I hate it. I always try to save money just incase I lose my job again from it. It was probably 10 years ago since I lost my job because of it and ever since then I’m really paranoid of losing another one.

    Hey guys, I was in the SAME situation this lady was in and I could HELP HER ALOT. Pretty much, she's doing the right thing seeing someone about the anxiety issues *(As this was prob triggered during the stresses of collage. This is a very common thing)* and she got great advice from you about needing to get on Dave's plan and CARE LESS about letting people down. Live your own life and when someone isn't happy with you, you smile and tell them that's all you can do. I was 60K in debt making 30K and now I'm debt free, making 80K. Took about 3-4 years.

That doesn’t make me feel better about myself but encourages me cause things could be far worst.

    It's amazing she had the courage to call but honestly in anxiety situations (and I have been there) the best thing you can do it's to go out of the house and try to do your life. It will be so hard at first but in few weeks or months it will feel natural. When you stay at home it's easier to think everything is bad and feel bad for yourself, when you go out and you are busy you have no time to be sad and anxious. Not only work will make her anxiety less severe than she will also have money to enjoy her life better and stop stressing about debt. She needs to get into the cycle, now she is just in a hole.

    I was out of work, related to illness for six months and suffered from debilitating anxiety. I would wake up every morning with a sense of "impending doom." No matter what activities I engaged myself, the symptoms persisted until I was capable of returning to work.
    Her anxiety is related to a lack of productivity. She needs to return to work and the anxiety will likely heal itself.

    Unfortunately there is still no correlation between youngsters signing loans for tens of thousands dollars and majoring in worthless degrees that have no real life value. Universities could care less about a student’s success or failure after graduation. The Professors and Administration received their paychecks and new buildings. Also carrying a student loan into your 40s, 20 years after graduation is a sign of other internal drive issues. I think accountability has been so far removed from our daily actions and vocabulary that very few will only be able to scratch the issue of what the root cause of their issues are.

I'm on one medication, talk to a therapist occasionally, and have the full support of a great wife. Staying home in a bad situation and doing nothing is terrible for anxiety and depression, and the worse your financial situation gets the worse your anxiety will get. You need to get what help you can and then do what you need to do to support your family and survive, making nothing and sitting at home with nothing else to do but worry is going to kill you.
