Have you talked to your doctor or a counselor or psychiatrist? There are treatments available that do not involve meds such as cognitive behavior therapy, reading self help books, philosophy, meditation etc. Depending on your situation, these may help you deal with the situation and you may feel happy and anxiety free to a larger degree.

If the anxiety has settled in deeper, you may need meds as a form of jump-start to help you while you explore the ways of dealing with the situation.

You mention being financially fit. If you can afford it, the non-medical treatments will work best if you see the professionals as they can guide you and assess the situation.

Does any of this appeal to you? How long ago did you lose your job, what are the job prospects, and how long did the deeper anxiety start?
