Im am 47 yrs old & Recently got laid off from my job of 23yrs. I'm looking at it as I retired to make myself feel better. I have always suffered from anxiety since my early 30's (probably earlier in life but never diagnosed back in those days) & my mother does as well. Which I believe it is in my genes. I've been on multiple anti-depressants. They helped at one time. But as i try new ones i hate them they make me depressed. So I stop taking. Isnt there something out there that JUST treats anxiety & panic disorder.. There has to be a solution..

It's a great way to look at the job situation, that's a tough one to deal with, as far as anxiety, there are lots and lots of people here who have posted and the comments left are some great ideas and also thought provoking. I would for sure try and read some others posts who have the same questions, and what others have responded. Great group of people here, very nice, kind, and smart answers.
