Anxiety & can't work: Yes. If you have health insurance, find a psychologist or counselor who takes your insurance or offers a negotiated fee & treats anxiety. If that's not an option, look for a community mental health agency or a university with a graduate psychology or psychiatry program that offers community counseling. If money is not the block to counseling, tell us what is.
