I don't have anything helpful to say, but I just wanted to let you know that I'm struggling with the same thing, and I know how you feel. Unlike you, I haven't gotten any medical help or therapy for the problem - yet - so I know I have a looooong road ahead of me, and that doesn't help things.
The irony is that my physical symptoms have gotten a LOT better on Heather's diet, but the panic attacks have gotten worse. Thankfully, I'm able to sleep at night, but I'm afraid to leave the house. Even when I do, it's rare that I'll wander more than a few miles from home. Sometimes I'll have such a bad panic attack that I won't eat for days, which is why your comment about lack of appetite and weight loss rang a bell with me - I'm losing weight at a rate of about 5lbs every couple weeks, and I honestly can't afford to lose much more, just because I "can't" eat.
I can't comment on the job situation. I last held a job in December, and I quit looking for a new job in February. In some respects, I felt better when I was working, but I wasn't as sick then either, and I know there's no way I could hold a job right now.
Anyway, I'm rambling, but I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. Hang in there, and in the meantime, rant away - that's what we're here for.
