Some of your symptoms make it hard for you to stay at your desk (Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, restlessness). Some make it hard to type (hand and leg tremors, muscle tension and muscle cramps). Some make it hard to concentrate (memory loss, disorientation, sleeplessness). Some make it hard to deal with customers (irritability).
Think about what a day at work is like. Walk through the last day you worked. What happened when you arrived? How did you feel reading your email? Were you able to understand the customer's problem and be helpful to them? What happened when a coworker stopped by? Did you talk to your boss about something? Did you need to ask a co-worker for help? Did you run into a bug you couldn't fix? Did you need to explain a design to your group? How long could you stay focussed on what you were doing? What coping mechanisms did you use (and are these "acceptable" behavior in the workplace)?
Come up with a list - don't worry about making sentences or having them flow into paragraphs.
The reason all of this is hard is because you are anxious. Give yourself a break and don't expect perfection. If lack of perfection shows through it will demonstrate your current state.
Do ask your therapist for help, as the other poster suggested.
Good luck.
