I have a question about changing and for whom we change, then: if you were to not go back to work but volunteer somewhere (whether in your field of expertise or in another capacity), would it hold the same fears for you than if you took a job?
Maybe you'd feel more comfortable doing a job if you weren't getting paid to do it. Would it satisfy your sense of self worth? You'd be making a contribution - the only thing missing would be the money you'd earn otherwise.
Or what about a part time job? If it's job stress that contributes to your crashes (and I live with some anxiety that I'll fall apart again, too), maybe taking on a job that doesn't ask as much of your time and effort would be rewarding.
Just some thoughts.
