Good grief we might be twins.....I am having such a hard time with this anxiety about no job....but no sleep and shaking like a leaf makes it tough to do anything about getting a job.....just a really horrible circle. There is a very real danger that If i don't control this I will lose my home, and don't know how I will feed self and dog.....I don't have friends or family close by and am reluctant to let anyone know how crazy I feel they'll lock me up.
To keep to the thread about the only good thing I did was work in a workbook on mindfullness/cbt, and come here.
Thank you it's good knowing I'm not alone but am sorry you are having such a time as well.
