Sincere Congratulations on your improvements. My anxiety seems most debilitating when it occurs in the workplace. Fear of authoritarian bosses, inability to form cordial relations with coworkers, having to appear an expert to clients. My anxiety and worry often manifest as me wanting to avoid even going to work. This caused me to be put on disability last year and now I have to be on guard for reoccurence. I guess each one of us has a slightly different profile but I wish the simple act of getting up and properly ready for work wasn't such a chore, then I could focus on the more complex issues of personal interactions.
This is fantastic news! Congratulations. It's so important for us all to hear of people who are living a full life despite the anxiety and panic. The harder we push forward means increased control and less power for fear. Great work!

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share my good news that I've gotten through another week at work. This time I did four days at reduced hours. Things are starting to feel "normal" again at work, like they did before I started having anxiety and panic attacks. I still have my moments where I struggle. Meeting with customers still produces very high levels of anxiety. But I think this too will get better with time. I am just so happy to be back at work. There was a time when I was wondering if I would ever be able to go back at all! Now I am confident that with time and patience (and this site) that I CAN do it!
