I still am dealing with fears of my husband becoming unemployed again and facing that kind of difficult time again. :-( It was utterly terrifying and I still feel like I can't totally relax and trust that everything is okay.

I'd say it's a valid reason for worry. I'm going through the same financial situation right now and even when I was working I'd worry about being back "here". It's an experience that traumatized you so it's going to take time and id suggest therapy. And I hear you on needing Xanax during that time too. I've been using my PRN a lot more worrying about how we're going to put food on the table tomorrow. Just remember that medicine only takes us so far. Don't become a slave to it. Work on your fears from the inside and that means facing them head on. I hope you feel better!
