Hello Everyone

My name is Rejane, I' m French but I have been living in the US for nearly 5 years now. I' m married and do have a little 2 years old.
Here' s my story.
In September i went to visit my family and friends for 2 weeks It was over 2 years that i did not see them.
A week later while at work ( I' m a manager for a store ), and I just got to work I found myself not feeling well it's seems the floor under my feet was going away, I could not breath, I was shaking and was loosing control and my heart was racing, I ended up in the ER the same day and then went to the doctor 3 days later... He told me about anxiety since that day things been really hard I do have lot anxiety spells and it's really hard to go on, at one point I could not even go in stores and do anything, It's seems that i only feel good at home and secure.
Anxiety is controlling my life right now before anxiety I was a fun person, was outgoing, and used to do a lot... My boss had a talk with me about my anxiety and it's seems that right now my job is at risk...

If you go have your doctor fill out FMLA (fanily medical leave act) your employer can not terminate you for the condition. If he/she categorizes it as a chronic illness you can be excused whenever and as often as needed without reprimand. This has saved my job and medical benefits! Go search in google FMLA and check it out. It can be a bit tedious and comlicated but it will ave your job.
