I have been feeling insecure ever since the company I worked at for 16 years closed down.  I am 52 and feel very insecure.  For two years now no sleep and daily panic attacks.  Help!

Hi

Welcome

You should move your post to the introduction forum. Many more members will see your posts in the introduction forum. Also you should give more information to be able to help you.

Have you taken any meds for the panic attacks and anxiety? If so how long? I was diagnosed with PTSD and generalized anxiety. I know what you are going through.
