It hasn't quite been a week since I quit my job. My life has done a turn around. I knew I was very sick at the time but now that the major source of angst is out of my life I realise the true extent of my anxiety and just how much it was consuming my life. Today I feel a sense of freedom. Oh I still have some stress in my life but it is tolerable and I am coping much better.

I really realised this yesterday when I had my meeting with my Veterans' Affairs (Canada) case manager. Instead of sitting there like a tub of goo I actually fully participated in a discussion with her what with a significant increase in confidence. She remarked on the difference. I had a long way to go still but she said she felt I was ready to be a full participant in the rehabilitation (PTSD, ANXIETY) process.
