Post ADA and Panic at work

Anyone have any idea how to or if it is possible to
be covered by the ADA for a job that results in making
your panic more frequent. I am in the middle of trying
to figure out if I should quit, which I do not want to
or try for ADA disability or get an accomodation or what. I basically can no longer do the job because of the panic...

Well the meds would allow me to stay at work however
the problem with panic is the stress factor. I really
had no trouble till I started the new job. I believe
people with panic should avoid this type of work however I had no choice. I asked for a different job
but they said they had none (sure) doc says I should
have one too making things worse. disability is envolved. You would not put a person who was claustrophobic working in a coal mine and tell him to
like it or quit.

I have panic attacks at work, although I love my job and I cant understand where these attacks come from . I figured I can stay at home forever or fight it. So I told management all about panic disorder, and told them they would have to drag me off my check-out everytime I had one. They have dragged me off a few times which is really embarrising but I tell myself people with epeletic fits never know when their going to hit and panic attacks are just the same and we really have nothing to be embarressed about. The panic attacks have got lees frequant I think because I face the fear and I am winning!!!! On top of that a lot of people approach me about it now and tell me about their experience with panic attacks and I dont feel so alone.... Stick with it and remember the famous line..
Its a simple choice, get busy living or get busy dying. Good luck xxxxxx
