Occupation is therapeutic for anxiety disorder. You can either sit at home obsessing or go to work and have more interesting things to worry about. Believe me, you'll be fine.

Try to keep working. As Jeff says, work will be a distraction. I have a friend who works for Fed Ex, and it can be a good job and lead to salary increases and promotions. You will be OK. xxx

Johnnie, you may not feel enthusiastic about your new job. But it can act like a tonic. There will be new thoughts to fill your mind, little problems to overcome. Eventually the new thoughts can push out the old thoughts. You'll certainly have less time to dwell on the old thoughts. A change is as good as a rest. Give it your best shot, Johnnie, I hope your new job is the beginning of a new better chapter in your life.
