This sounds like my wife and I three months ago. I had never personally experienced extreme anxiety, and when it came on to her full force I felt so helpless. It was completely debilitating, she couldn't just be. We came to the conclusion that the root of her anxiety was work related, even though she had a mostly stress free job that paid well. Her boss was also very understanding of her situation, allowing her extra sick time, work from home, etc. I was reluctant to agree to let her quit, but quitting was the best decision we made. This experience really shed a light on how shitty mental health resources can be. We live in Austin, and I couldn't believe how difficult it was for her to get an appointment that wasn't a month out and took our insurance. When you are suffering the last thing you want to hear is denial over and over again when trying to see a doctor. Thankfully we found someone through a family friend. Her quitting coupled with therapy has helped tremendously, we are in a much better place now.
