I (25f) was diagnosed with severe anxiety a couple of years ago. I have had bad anxiety since I can remember, especially obsessive thoughts/worrying/paranoia. I honestly also think I have OCD with emphasis on the O,  however I am not officially diagnosed.

After years of therapy I was actually managing, I rarely suffered panic attacks anymore etc. Last winter things started going bad again but mostly depression and some episodes of obsessive thinking but I knew what was causing it and i worked through it. But February I caught COVID and while I handled being sick and quarantine really well, my brain has been a dumpsterfire ever since I got "healthy" again. I showed symptoms of Post-Covid for a couple of weeks but I feel  most of them are gone by now, however my anxiety is through the roof. I was under extreme stress at work directly after COVID so I thought that was causing it. But things are mostly settled now, i will even start a new job soon and my brain is still on fire. I am anxious about everything (and paranoid, but that mostly about work), my cognitive functions seem to be impaired (slow and forgetful) and because of a stupid tweet I read i am now worried that i have brain damage from the virus (embarrassing).  I know very well that all the symptoms I have can also be attributed to GAD and depression but I can't remember being this unhinged ever since doing therapy so I am just wondering did anyone else experience this? And if you did, what helped?
