These days I am self employed as an antique dealer. I get out and about, I drive, I talk to all sorts of people, I go to strange places. Most importantly I am able to be a mother too, my daughter no longer goes to daycare. This is my passion in life and the money isn’t too bad either. I used to be a legal assistant, until I was fired from the firm for having panic attacks. Being fired is the best thing that has ever happened to me career wise. It was the kick that I needed to pursue what I really wanted to do. Jess Path: lobby!newstf02.news.aol.com!portc03.blue.aol.com!newsfeed.cwix.com!news.c

Jess, I didn’t know you were a legal assistant!! What a small world it is…that is what I do. I am also the office manager, gopher, accountant, typist, secretary, receptionist and general scape-goat when things go wrong…lol I am fortunate that my boss understands my pa’s and has been massively supportive anytime I am not doing well. Thank god for understanding people. (It helps (?) that he is a manic/depressive…so he has insight that others might not. But, shhhhhhh…I didn’t tell anyone that, k? ;-) Peace & Love, Barb

I was a labor attorney but I didn’t like it much. Too much fighting, major stress, sucky people, and too far from home. So I took a job as General Counsel/project manager with a technology company started by a college buddy of mine. Much less stress, very cool people and it really helped my anxiety. I didn’t realize how much job stress contributed to my problems until I changed. Good luck with the temp thing. Non-Ambulance Boy (whose working to live, not living to work)

Noell, Being on dialysis got me fired from my nursing job in a hospital(such compassion)…anyway, I haven’t worked and got my transplant in April. Being on disability is okay for now but in a year or so I have to go back. I know I can do it, it’s just going to be a challenge rebooting my brain to think faster. I just hope I can find a damn job! I do know nursing has made a turn around and job openings are available…I think my anxiety will be okay, I don’t know…I try to not think about it right now, I just want my first year post op of my transplant to go smooth. I hope you find something you can be comfortable doing. I know being out of work is a big stress, we have to watch and count every dime. Take a deep breath, give yourself some credit, and know you can do it! You are in my thoughts..Cheryl — TC3 Always take an emergency leisurely. Chinese Proverb

I have a job at a store. It’s mostly clerical stuff. My Boss at the time was very supportive when I began this panic/anxiety. He assured me that I was an essential part of the business and I was needed no matter what state of mind I was in. He pretty much encouraged me to fight it and not give into it- and even suggested therapy…… Bonnie Before you buy.

Hi Noell, I coordinate and teach students with special needs in a unit that is part of a secondary school. I already had this job when I developed PD. I am open about the condition and had a lot of support when I was really struggling. Now I find that I have less symptoms at work than on holidays. I’m too busy at work to think about PD! However none of this would be possible if I didn’t have medication. Good luck, Meryl
