I'm sorry you've been having such an awful time lately. I lost my job around 5 months ago for similar reasons, although they like to dress it up as cost cutting or some such.

Anyway, it is hard for people close to you if they don't know what it's like to go through prolonged anxiety and panic attacks. An important question though is has your partner actually gotten fed up or is it a belief you have in your head? Self esteem can plummet in these circumstances but it can be nursed back to health.

Check out the resources at the top of the page, there's some great links to help cope while you wait for CBT.

Browse the forum, get to know some others experiences. It's a great place and I'm glad you found us.

Hi Buddy and welcome!

I am so sorry to hear of the circumstances that anxiety has brought about for you recently.:(

However, you are doing the right things to ensure you gain recovery...and that is great news!

You are seeking therapy, which is key...working with your doctor and reaching out here...all fantastic steps!

Once you get some tools to help you manage your anxiety, you will be able to get employed again...and there will be no stopping you.:)
