I'm an accountant as well. Out of school I went into public, first for a good size regional firm, and then a smaller one. I was laid off from both. My anxiety at the time was very high, and I wasn't doing well.
I passed the CPA exam the first time around, and luckily had enough hours in to get it.
Now I work in the accountanting department of a hospital. It's OK, but I still have issues with anxiety, but it's fairly relaxed. Also their expectations of their employees is pretty low. That said, I still have so many days where I just want to run and hide.

I work in the oil patch, and every day we come to work wondering whose is going to be laid
off that day. This recession is killing me, the lack of any sense of stability sends me swinging from one end of the spectrum of manic over to the dead drop of depression
Sometimes I just want to hide
