I know what you mean. When my BP and GAD were not well controlled, I was so stressed I did not feel like I could function at all at work. I felt like I either wanted to scream at my boss or just sit in a corner and stare into space.
After a resume killing long list of jobs I finally got with a p-doc who helped me with the right combination of meds. Now I am able to function at a high level. I still have problems with anxiety, but at least I am not bouncing off the walls anymore because I am cycling.
Hang in there! Things will get better. I felt like a failure for a long time because I could not hold onto a job. However, I think the mental health system failed me because I did not get the help I needed.
