Hey John, HOw are you?
I have experienced a similar situation as you. I am now 26 years old, and i have been suffering from anxiety attacks since i was 18 as well. As far as medication goes, i found it wasnt for me, and it made me a lil worse, but everyone has a different experience. I currently take only one pill now at night before i go to bed. I am not sure about finacial help, i dont know where u are from, but the U.S, offers alot more programs for plp. dealing with anxiety then in Cananda, where i am from. I was also without a job for a long time, and i was unable to leave my house as well. One thing that really helped me was the CBT course. I have been trying to take small steps, and do things one day at a time. I am now working only part time, for the past three years. I suggest the CBT course, if you feel you are able to do it, because it helped me alot, and i am now able to do many things, that i wasnt able to do like before.
If you need any more advice, i would be glad to help you in any way that i can.
