According to Caudron (2002), workplace changes were relatively minor and related as much to the economic downturn that followed the attacks as to the fears they invoked. In the past five years many companies have instituted formal referenced checking programs and routinely check into the criminal, motor vehicle, social security and credit histories of job candidates, in addition to their past employment history (NEHRA leaders reflect, 2006).

In the two decades since Daniel Nieto served in the Gulf War, anxiety has dogged him nearly every day. He has trouble sleeping. Noises make him jump. He has panic attacks, an inability to concentrate and a social phobia that makes it difficult for him to be around people.
And this, he says, is just a "mild" case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

DEAR ABBY: "Seth" and I have been going out for almost three years. We have been engaged for a year and I love him, but every time he talks about living together or getting married, I get so nervous and scared that I suffer anxiety attacks.
We have differences when it comes to handling money, keeping the house in order and having pets. We also argued about a pre-nup agreement. Seth won't change his position on it and I'm still resentful. I'm worried that if we live together I'll end up with his debts. If things don't work out, I don't want to start all over again.

DEAR Amy: In my mid-30s, about 12 years ago, I began to have "anxiety attacks." Because of sexual attacks by an older brother when I was elementary-school age, I was diagnosed with post- traumatic stress disorder.
With the help of a wonderful therapist, my husband and a few close friends, the panic attacks and nightmares have been nearly gone for a few years now.

It was Chad Pierron's first-ever appearance in the Charleston Public Courts Tennis Tournament, but the occasion brought no anxiety attacks or even the slightest hint of nervousness.
The 20-year-old Pierron slept soundly as his mother, Vicki Pierron, made the hour-and-45-minute drive from their home in Wheelersburg, Ohio, to the Schoenbaum Courts for an 8 a.m. match Saturday.

In my neighborhood, it's uplifting to see the multi-colored "bounce houses" for kids' birthday parties. There's usually at least one a week, attended by friends and neighbors. I'm sure politics comes up at these occasions, but no doubt blame for the financial meltdown is assigned to Goldman Sachs or AIG. The kids only get to celebrate their birthdays once a year, and their families don't want to lose the moment watching talking heads natter on about the state of the world, which keeps spinning regardless of our collective anxiety attacks.
It's psychologically necessary, and probably politically helpful, to take a breath, and keep things in perspective. The best course of action is rarely embarked on when you're in panic mode. A little escapism is like dreaming- while we're being enterta...
