I have unemployed for 2 years due to my bp. While I am more stable looking for a jib is stressing me out and I feel like I want to cry and scream. Do I keep looking or what should I do? Anybody having the same problem?

I'm in the same situation.

I have been pretty much stable for a couple of years .

My biggest problem is anxiety.

The thought of working is appealing , and then I get all wiggy, actually thinking about the realities of work.

How do you deal with your anxiety?

You should be able to get help through your State Vocational Rehab office. Stress is always with us. Attitude, meds and diet
can all help.
