Malamute, why are you so certain it is PAWS instead of anxiety? Chronic anxiety can do a lot of damage to the brain as well. Have you tried acupuncture? I know that sounds weird, but it helped me with a grief issue one time. Meditation should help too, but will take a long time to notice the positive effects, so you have to be patient. There's also Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I haven't tried CBT myself, but others have had good results with it.
Isolating in your home is only going to make things worse. You need activities that are different from your normal routine to break the mental cycle you are trapped in.
