Over the last few years, I have slowly had to come to the realization that my anxiety has left me dysfunctional. I have been unable to work for two years and I'm no longer able to convince myself I'll be fine any day now.

I'm really interested in stories about people who have found themselves disabled on account of anxiety or depression, especially stories about people who have been unable to work and managed to overcome that obstacle and go on to live a typical life.

I would welcome any personal stories! But if anyone can suggest any books, articles, movies, or TV shows which address this subject, it would be greatly appreciated. 

Maybe it's misguided, but I think it would be very comforting to me to relate to someone else (even someone fictional) who is in the same predicament. Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help.
