Thanks for your "Oh so kind words of encouragement". What I meant is has anyone been in this situation before? Hence my title subject. I can handle stress and anxiety in any other situation. I am a mother of two and great at it. My life/house/marriage is all in order. I can handle multi=tasking like no other and I would definitely be able to handle someone going into code. Do you not read? I said I suffer from severe TESTING anxiety not just anxiety.
