Hi Bailey,

That's a hard one, and only you can tell how it feels. I dropped out of work myself, and that didn't really make the anxiety any better. I think that the illness has patterns of it's own, and it depends how well you can cope with the symptoms.

A good counsellor will help you with the decision when the time comes. I think that there are plenty of people here on psych central who are still working and plenty that have stopped working. I'm interested to hear some more views on this, it's a very important issue for us IMHO.

Good thoughts, Myzen
