Hi chubbo, I'm so sorry you are struggling right now. It shows you that anxiety can happen to anyone even in the mental health profession. I'm sure you have the tools necessary to overcome your anxiety. However, your mind and body may need this time to recover, to concentrate on you and not others. Not being able to leave the house may be a way for you to heal. I'm agoraphobic so I understand. I too talked with my therapist everyday. I needed to know I could get better and until I did, I needed someone to lean on. And that's okay. My therapist picked me up each and every time I was down and one day, I was able to pick myself back up.. I progressed from there, small steps at first but now getting better and better each day. I believe that things happen for a reason and it's what we make of it that will eventually see us through. I wish you well and as you know, you are not alone. x
