I am you, Jack - just about 3 years later. I too never considered myself a worrier and I also felt like I had to be strong for others and keep powering forward in my career, but the life changes as a result of the pandemic has caused anxious episodes for me as well.
At first, I thought they were a result of low blood sugar. I thought maybe I was diabetic? Until I later learned, it was anxiety.
At the moment, I refuse to medicate myself, because I’ve always felt in control of my own feelings, but I am trying some of the things that you are: meditation and walking mainly.
I wish you the best and look forward to hearing about your journey, Jack!

Thank-you for sharing!
We have walked the same path. I relate deeply in that I always felt in control of my feelings.
In addition to meditation and walking, exercise (even if I’ve already exercised that day) has been profound to put my mind in the right place.
Thanks for reading and all the best as you continue your own journey.
