When I stopped working it was because I made the first med error of my Nursing career. I also brought home the narcotics key. This scared me so much that I felt I was not competent at the time. Well, as it turns out my thyroid was out of wack and a simple med adjustment alleviated the severe anxiety as long as I continued with the xanax. While in the hospital the pdoc asked me if I wanted to go back to work and I said no. He got me on Disability. That was a big mistake. Now 8 years later I don't know any of the current tx for anything, my anxiety has increased to agorphobia because I'm not around people, and I've really gotten too old to work in the hospital. The stress has increased considerably do to understaffing, etc. I just mentioned that if I ever went back to work again, i would like to work in crisis intervention, where talking and communicating are very important. I seem to have a talent for getting people to open up and tell me their problems. I wish there was a center near here. Fondly, Phillipa
