welcome to PC. I'm sorry you're struggling with this. I've had to take leave from work and it's very hard. I didn't quit but my late husband had quit a few times out of rage and stress. So I know the financial stress you are under. Could you maybe apply for disability? If you truly can't work then it might be an option. Otherwise all you can do is go to therapy if you don't already and try to get to the root of the problem. You can also find new coping skills that may be able to help you stop panicking so much. It may or may not work, but if you want income, those are your options really.

Or, maybe you could try to find a job that's not as stressful? I don't know what you did but maybe you could try part-time work and it might not be so anxiety-inducing for you. Start with a few hours a week and build up to more.
