I was on an AD when I came out of IP last year. I stopped it about a month later because it was fueling my anxiety. It did help, though. I would be put on it again if I needed it.

I'm "the breadwinner" in my house, because I had more options to get disability benefits. We're doing okay. Even though my husband and daughter would be okay financially if I was gone, it would still be devastating to them. I would work but anxiety would wreck me if I did.

It's hard when you're trying to make ends meet, especially when outside influences can trash your best efforts.
