On the brighter side I think you definitally can do it. Perhaps you can start small like a part time job. Also certain jobs are definitally lower stress than others. Try for something that's low key and less intimitating. You'll be nervous at first certainly, but the more you do it the better you'll feel. Your confidence will in prove too.

Also try to reframe the whole idea. Try to make it exciting and happy not terrifying drudgery. Does that make any sense?

Yes that makes total sense. I am trying to look at things differently. I guess what is so frustrating for me is all the body sensations I get with high anxiety. I feel like I'm going to pass out and/or throw up. So that makes it really hard to concentrate.
