I've looked at some sites on anxiety, but am not sure if what I experience is part of that. This behavior has caused me to loose many jobs, and is a source of embarassment to me. I will be fine most of the time, then while I'm at work (any job, doesn't matter), or if I'm anyplace for several hours, I start to experience feeling afraid, of an overwhelming need to curl up on the floor or in a chair away from people, hopefully at home, and to sleep. This doesn't fit the typical profile of anxiety. If I am in a situation where I cannot get away, I get very afraid, and end up with tears pouring down my face, and all I can think of is 'I wanna go home'. It seems to be a very infantile feeling. I have been in treatment for major depression for a long time, and am doing well with most of my depressive symptoms, but am still very much bothered by the afore mentioned behavior. I am 42. Is this anxiety? Is it part of my depression? I am on 150 mgs of Effexor, and 40 of Prozac. Jen
