So sorry to hear what you were going through. My partner had something similar due to the stress from the pandemic. What helped her the most was actually a regular psychiatrist appointment.

Did you do something specific when you took your time off and saw your symptoms disappear? Curious what helped you the most.

When I took time off it was simply because I could not function in any meaningful way.

- Anxiety medication (I feel hesitant taking this and question if it helps or not. Hard to know.)

- Talked to a therapist weekly (now doing monthly)

- Yoga weekly

- Forced myself back into a regular exercise routine. I love exercising, but I had fallen out of my routine.

- Modified my diet and eating habits. I track everything I eat now. Still experimenting with this.

- Focused, deep breathing for 5 to 10 minutes three times a day.

- I think time in general helped me heal.
