Do what you have to! If it helps moving in with family, do it! You are trying and that is a positive thing. I wish I had some advice about the anxiety. I have tried numerous things and none have helped. I am suffering from generalized anxiety disorder 24/7. I am so sorry for what you are going through - it is a miserable feeling. I was always physically/mentally healthy until approximately 3 years ago. I am now 46 and experiencing the most miserable feelings of my life. My husband and daughter are very supportive, but we have no idea what to do next. I have seen several doctors, nothing has helped. I quit my job in November, after 14 years of employment, and do not drive now. As I said, my husband and daughter are very supportive and take me to my doctor appointments. I fear I will never be well again, and my number one concern is what this is doing to my family. I am sorry this is not an uplifting post and that is what you need right now. Everyone is different, and I am sure you will get the help you need and become the person you once were. My intent was just to let you know that I understand, and know exactly how you feel.
