I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder but don't have the other diagnoses you have, so please take what I have to say with a grain of salt. I really sympathize with what you wrote. My GAD was getting worse (feeling a rise in anxiety just from typing those words) and I eventually got it together to start seeing a therapist. It has helped quite a bit and I wish I had started seeing someone earlier. My appointments are in-person but when I was looking around, I found that a lot of therapists offer their services online. Perhaps you could find an option where the person was okay with your video being turned off to make it easier for you to talk.

I do hope you find a better job that fits with your conditions and I don't mean to minimize your efforts in that direction.
