Have you discussed this with your doctor? If not, I would schedule an appointment ASAP. It's possible that medication might be able to help significantly. If it does help, it could be that it helps you enough to turn things into a more manageable situation at work. This might not be your long-term optimal solution, but it could make life less miserable until you do find your long-term optimal.

Thanks! Fortunately I'm not that bad to the point of being miserable. 3 years ago I tried lexapro for 3-6 months. It worked somewhat but was more of a bandaid. Beyond medication, I'm not quite sure what else a doctor can do that a councillor can't provide.

I'm hesitant to suggest this, but I struggled with anxiety and depression for a long time

In my early 30s I was diagnosed with ADHD. I was put on a mild stimulant (low dose of concerta) and my anxiety was almost immediately gone

It is possible that your anxiety is a comorbid of another problem that you are struggling with, it is worth exploring at least
