Off work with panic and anxiety

Hi all,
I have been on and off work all year with panic and anxiety. When I look at all the posts I feel like I’m the only one not “managing” a normal life along side it. I love reading the success stories and hearing people who get to work and control their anxiety it gives me hope. I know everyone’s different, but I thought I would reach out and see if anyone else is struggling with not being able to work either? Or even better have been off work with it and have found a way back?! I have just started taking sertraline and I’m really hoping I’ll be able to be back at work soon as I love my job.
I am finding it a struggling to leave the house alone at the moment, although I’m ok when I have someone with me. I find the minute I try to go for a walk I panic that I am too far away from my car or house and so I find getting the benefits from that hard. I’m a single mum so it makes it harder to get out as I don’t have someone at home to help.
This is my first post but I am over the moon to have found the forum of support. Thanks everyone x

@Vinox MEEEEEE! Im struggling so bad since having my third child, I was due to start a new job but my anxiety is in the way so had to reject the offer, I' get a nervous stomach and the urge to go to the toilet so leaving the house has been horrible so I've avoided it and now, I've got a bit of a fear of leaving the house -.- anxiety is a horrible thing I'm on beta blockers and Buscopan but still get a slight nervous stomach while out, haven't been out with my whole family since baby was 5days old (he's now nearly 4 months) xx
