i am still set off into a fit of anxiety by many little things and that makes me think i will never be able to work again. certainly not in the near future. i can't even motivate myself to take any steps at all for considering jobs, looking for jobs

I definatly know how you feel with this, I have struggled to look for a job and keep a job and jobs right now I just haven't been able to get or keep.

[b]I have this problem with my boyfriend. He assumes that I don't want to work, He assumes I wont get my drivers license again, it drives me nuts and further depresses me. I know that feeling all to well.

You say that you have no one to help you, have you seeked therapy for your depression and anxiety. Anxiety use to take over my life, it has put things on hold but I CAN go to interview and so forth. I do alot of postive self talk that has helped greatly. I rarely get panic attacks anymore and my anxiety is very minimal, around jobs it's high but I have gone for them, just with no luck.

Here are some great anxiety books that I think will help you with yours. One book called<font color=red> Don't Panic By R.Ried Wilson ph.d</font color=red> has helped me out greatly, I've never had a book affect me in such a postive way as this one has. The other anxiety book is called. <font color=red>The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, third edtion by Edmund J Bourne.</font color=red> I belive that is his name.

Hang in there, I know it is tough, but you will get through it as I have, just think postive .... Take care.[/b
